Re: Taboo Topics (Heavily moderated)

How do you respond (other than "humans are naturally lazy") to the connection with the drowning child?

Donating to charity can bodaciously save lives.

Re: Taboo Topics (Heavily moderated)

I'm probably not doing it justice here, but he's basically attempting to get people past their laziness by appealing to their sense of right and wrong. Nobody wants to be a bad person. If not helping a drowning child right in front of you makes you a bad person, Singer argues that not helping people...

Re: Taboo Topics (Heavily moderated)

I think he fails to take into account several parts of human nature. We are lazy, creatures of habit, and if something isn't happening right in front of us then we have no reason to care. If it doesn't directly affect (effect?) us then we generally don't care, but if it does then we will do everyth...

Re: Taboo Topics (Heavily moderated)

Agh I explained it horribly Okay let me start over Basically, the thought goes that if you have enough to live comfortably and then buy more luxuries, you morally should have used that extra to help people less fortunate than you. If you don't, you're selfish. He uses the thought experiemnt of a chi...

No, the opposite. He thinks everyone should be morally obligated to.

Re: Taboo Topics (Heavily moderated)

Not saying we have to switch subjects just yet, but there's another topic that's sort of interesting to me because I'm really unsure of where I stand on it Peter Singer argues (from what I remember understanding) that it is not good to give to charity. It is morally obligatory to do so in order to b...

Re: It's moments like these that you need Minties

Volunteered to prompt for a theater group that was supposed to be off scripts. They weren't off scripts though, so I just sat there bored. Almost fell asleep Then sat in a bar for an hour while they talked about things I couldn't give a shit about because I was the designated driver for a few of them

Re: Taboo Topics (Heavily moderated)

Never gotten why Hitler became the epitome of human evil to people when Stalin was just as bad, if not worse, since unlike Hitler he didn't care about the people he governed. It could be because we(USA) sided with Stalin even while he was doing all his killing. Obviously the USA doesn't ever side w...
