    Normal is just a reference to commonly held beliefs about proper action.

    I never profess to live by the Golden Rule. It's profoundly flawed.

    Why so?

    All the religions and political systems I know have some type of reciprocity rule.

    What is better?

    Let's silence all the loonies at both ends of our political spectrums.

    That is how we would see how the 80% are on the same page.

    All people have the same core values. It is all about the application of priorities and the two 10% ends are what destabilizes a ship of state, be it religious or a political tribe.

    you're morally retarded. it's not enlightenment, intelligence, or wisdom.

    morality is enforced by society against our baser natures.

    it's technology.

    children will receive some sort of social conditioning or cue to not speak in certain ways at certain times.

    there is morality and there is social conditioning.

    they're related but not the same. our cultures use both.

    Do I really need to link you to the research that shows how babies and children default to cooperation and not competition?

    They know better than you, given the competitive nature of your reply.

    If you trust my informed sources on this, ask.

    Oops. That would take you arguing instead of accusing while not showing cause.

    Morality allows trust which allows cooperative behavior versus antagonism.
    It's The bedrock of civilization.

    I have found that this poster DEMANDS his questions be answered but won't answer anyone else's.

    Given that you should always act such that the maxim of your actions should be universal law I suppose it means they don't want their questions answered.
