I already explained. It looks like it was designed to be kicked, so I should kick it.

And society winning by being the majority is unfair. A 1000ft tall idiot is still an idiot, just a really really big one.

It's your opinion against societies, society wins by numbers and thats all it can come down to. Society says you're wrong so it's up to you to prove otherwise so come on, why should you get to kick the cat?

[B]Is it okay to kick a dog?

Why's he wrong?
Says who?

Yes but who defines right and wrong?

Let's debate something else now.


muuuuuuuh. WHY am I wrong? because you think you're right? That isn't a reason.

Whether you like it or not, that's the way it is. You are wrong.

Oh yes Merm, I'll see you at the Cambridge Parliament at 8, yes?

Bring the bubbly.

"It's wrong to kick a cat in terms of morals. You are deliberatly causing a living creature pain, for no just reason - nihilism, pleasure, whatever. In terms of societie's dominant ethics, that is wrong. That is the clearest way to define right and wrong."

Yeah, but this all rests on the fact that their morals are right and mine are wrong, which is purely subjective.

Cycloon's post said it all.
