That is where the entire human race is, or headed to. Is that reasonable? Has god made a mistake by declaring us not worth life. We have been conditioned to believe that the world is evil so we must be also. Would mankind rehabilitate if given an extension on life to give us time to prove we are good. Now we die before we can prove our rehab possibilties.
If I get you extended life will you promise you will be righteous?

The "pagan" virtues extolled in ancient Greek and Rome as supplanted by Christian virtues...or are they? Does either trio speak to your beliefs, and why?

remember the movie the island? suppose a clone is made who is exactly like you, in the movie they feed their brains with artificial memories, suppose those memories were the exac rplica of your own. so in effect, there will be no difference between th two of you, so the clone will think he/she is you, and you cannot blame him/her.
suppose your clone come along one day to your house and says he is not a clone but the "real" one and you are the cloone. ofcourse he is wrong as you know you are not a clone. but think again, he too thinks he is the real one and not the clone, so whats the difference between you and him, so maybe you are the clone?

when you are dreaming.

Consider the following:
A)Throwing yourself on a grenade to protect the lives of your fellow soldiers
B)Blowing yourself up in a crowded market to protest a political regime
C)Confessing that u broke the valued object when u know people will be angry w/ u
d)Leaping across a large crevice on a dare
E)Sleeping w/ the light out for the first time

According to Socrates, before we could say that any particular act is courageous we would first have to understand what courage itself is. That is if some of the actions above are courages & others are not, we must have some characteristic (or criterion) by which we determine which are and which are not. So I have three questions: 1)What characteristic makes an act courageous? 2)Are the above actions all courageous? why/why not? 3) Since to call a person courageous is usually to praise that person, are all courageous acts ones that exhibit a moral strength of character?

Thanks

And, when I say throughout life, I'm talking the whole life. A life that has no potential for happiness, stability..there will be physical and/or emotional pain throughout one's life. Why would he put us through that and how does he expect us to cope?

Example 1:
You have a foreign workmate who has a very poor English.
Would you tell him something like "man, you have to improve your English" or would you ignore his mistakes?

Example 2:
Your father has the habit of making things fast and badly for many years, would you tell him something like "Dad, the food you made does not taste well because is too fried" or would you ignore his mistakes?

Would be interesting to see comments on this as some people have a philosophy of having a good relation with everybody where being tolerant is essential and on the other hand some people have a philosophy where to correct wrong behaviours/attitudes is important to improve the world that you would like to build.

Thanks in advance.

Good things outweigh bad things a million times over but we always remember mistakes or the bad things we do or say.
Anyone know why?

Dont tell me because its good to have manners. I dont want to hear all the social expectations of people (dont fart, burp, chew with your mouth closed, etc) I want to know WHY. why do we have magic words (please, thank you, excuse me) that make everything okay? isnt this slightly ridiculous? why cant humans accept each other in their natural state. why are burps, farts, boogers etc. so gross to everyone? we all do it, but judge others for doing it. it just so idiotic. I am anti- manners. whos with me?
