For any negative consequences from policies you support or reject (denying them any hypothetically good potential), even if you can't be certain of the cause and effect, yet believe it plausible that 'b' did, indeed, followed 'a'?

For a real example: If you are for leaving Iraq, do you have any culpability for the situation becoming, if it does, worse?

If you are for staying in Iraq; same question applies.

As for me, I lean toward leaving Iraq, and I think I bear come culpability if things get worse then on.

What do you believe?

Should we judge a person by the intent or affects/ effects of his actions, and do we try enough to prove or disprove his responsibility for those affects/effects and the validity of the supposed motives behind his actions?

Why do you, or why do you believe others do, think it's subjective?

How subjective is it?

Whose standards are fair, or acceptable?

Is there usually selfishness behind the assertion of evil as subjective?

Is there much disingenuousness is the assertion?

What could be the effects on society if the subjectiveness was largely accepted as valid?

If evil is subjective, may you judge right and wrong?

May you judge others' concepts of right and wrong?

How long can one not lie for? Can anyone today be like Gandhi by not lying and making a conscious attempt to utter the truth and truth alone, under any conditions? Often it seems we say a lot of white lies...im talking about eleminating even those. Complete and unquestioning adherence to the Truth. Gandhi said he found God in Truth.

imagine your self as a doctor! you have 2 babies, one with a bad heart and the other with a bad brain. the first baby will die if she doesnt get a new heart, the second baby will live in a vegitative state all her life. would you transfer the heart of the baby with bad brain to the one who needs the heart? or would you let the first baby die and let the other baby live in a vegitative state all her life?
note: this was a real question in one of my classes>>>

Killing another being is deemed to be one of the biggest sins ever, and eventually it would get you to hell, but how about if you killed all the evil people, who hurt many others and contenuie doing so; kind of like from that move "Bondock saints". I mean you know you are going to hell but you are sacrificing your self to save others? 2 negatives = a positive kind a deal??? yes or no

It has sometimes been thought that science provides a specifically "rational" mode of acess to the world, and art a specifically "irrational" mode.

In what sense is this true (or not true) for Nietzche?

Is it right to describe Nietzche as an "irrationalist"?

If so, why? IF not, why not?
