It's powerful stuff, and something we'd all do well to remember. "WPF has many lovers.

Nobody fights for what they believe is wrong. I think you are confused. Think of a slave revolt. The captured slaves want to be free, but their master wont let them. You know which side is in the right, doesn't really matter what they think on either side, because there is only one right side.

They would, because they benefit from it. Goldman Saches doesn't take hundreds of billions of taxpayers dollars because they believe its the right thing to do, they do it because its easy money. A dictator doesn't cull protesters of tyranny because he believes its morally right, he does it to keep or strengthen his power. A psychopath doesn't chain down his victims because he thinks its the right thing to do, he does it because it gets him off.

Sign In·View Thread·PermaLink Re: We are still fighting for freedom CaptainSeeSharp 16:45 4 Nov '09   Well, what I mean is that there is this thing called universal morality. Things that are known to be undebatable and undeniably right or wrong.

In fact it's that kind of thinking that leads to the type of situations you're complaining about.
