1) When visiting a foreign country, do you believe it is appropriate or inappropriate to adopt the local norms of the society during your stay there? What if the norms conflict with promises you have made or ethical obligations you have to other people "back home"?

2) Rule utilitarianism propose to the test a moral rule ("lying is wrong" or "lying is wrong except to prevent great damage to other person") in term of the consequences for human happiness of observing or violating the rule. Does this proposal do justice to "the moral point of view," that is right, duty, and moral law theories?

3) Suppose that you are opposed, for whatever reason, to racial or sexual discrimination what method of value reasoning could you effectively use to change an individual, class, or nation that practices such discrimination? In other words can ethical reasoning bake any bread?

On this one i reckon the Persian wars from about 496 bc to 479 bc, inc. Marathon, Thermopylae etc. Just curious what people think, as read recently that Marathon is more important to British history than Hastings and im pretty much in agreement. What say you?!

Here are a couple of reasons why I think we as humans should be punished by extermination:
1. Forgeting the teachings of the bible by having sex before marriage, killing other people for pleasure and money so we can survive, worshiping money instead of the bible, etc.
2. Slowly distroying our environment through deforestation, overfishing, pollution, global warming, etc.
3. Overpopulation which leads to the imbalance of the eco-system and killing off animals in the process.
4. Killing animals for money and pleasure, like hunting and fishing for pleasure, killing other animals for their skin such as fur, just so that people will know we are rich, etc.

There are many more reasons why I think we should all be punished and be exterminated, myself included. We are all sinners. Do you agree or disagree? And why.

Our confirmation of existence far out weighs our survival instincts...as desire and instincts are not one and the same.

Sometimes when I go to concerts, I can't really get a good picture of the singers face. I want a telephoto lens that can go really far but then not be rediculously priced.
