Like the one on dear old Adam Smith in my avatar, would you wear it?
How about if they made it a capital offence?

Why the intervals?
I was using a graph for reference, and it was based on those numbers.

If you're going to post your results, at least fucking check to see which results your closest to.

The Daily Mail is shit because of its attitudes/opinions/editors. Doesn't mean the basic facts aren't correct.

I'll put the results in spoilers. This is based on the work of Jonathan Haidt, who's extensively studied political implications of morality. You must rate them from 0 to 4.5, in intervals of 0.5 in how important they are in moral considerations, and I will post the average results in spoilers. Then, you'll tell us which group you're closest to in moral considerations. Being a "moral conservative" doesn't necessarily infer you must be politically conservative. Spoiler So rate them as 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4 or 4.5. So, in other words, if somebody were to violate these foundations below, how important would they be in your condemnation of them? Care/Harm Foundation: Protecting others from harm and being empathetic towards fellow humans. Usually follows with protecting them from abstract oppression like poverty or hunger. Justice/Fairness Foundation: Treating people in proportion to their actions. Can be associated with things like advocacy for a living wage or, on the flip side, capital punishment. Such results are usually contingent on your score for the care foundation. Loyalty/Ingroup Foundation: Devotion to an associated group, such as family, nation, community. Authority/Respect: Taking things like tradition and certain authorities - like parents, the State, the law, a police officer - seriously and paying them due respect; in other words, how disturbed you are by people who act in an apparently flagrant or disrespectful manner to objects or agents of authority. Sanctity/Purity: Avoidance of degrading things like actions - such as promiscuous behaviour - or foods - like GMOs. Also, making certain things sacred (such as the Constitution, for a civil example) or the Bible, or the Flag et cetera and whether or not somebody disgraces "sacred" objects. Liberal Results Care - 3.7
Fairness - 3.8
Loyalty - 2
Authority - 1.8
Sanctity - 1.3 Conservative Results Care - 2.9
Fairness - 3.2
Loyalty - 2.8
Authority - 3.1
Sanctity - 2.4
Libertarian Care - 2.6
Fairness - 3.2
Loyalty - 2.1
Authority - 1.7
Sanctity - 1 I came out as closer to Conservatives.

Maybe you just have shitty parties. I personally love having more than just two.
Well, anything's better than Labour, Conservatives, Liberals and UKIP. . .

How do the national, county and municipal election differ?
Who will you vote for?
How did you vote for the EP?

Fuck me.Hundreds of empty iPad Mini boxes were discarded at the European Parliament, prompting fears that bureaucrats are frittering thousands of pounds worth of taxpayers' money.
More than 106 boxes were pictured in a corridor at the Brussels parliament last week – with a total cost of £for all the tablets.
Speaking today he said: 'I walked past and I first thought it was piles of paper, but when I saw it was hundreds of iPad boxes I was appalled.
'It is an astonishing waste of taxpayers' money. I was absolutely flabbergasted that they thought it was necessary to spend more than £25,000 on tablets which are not needed for the job.
'I was headed off to a meeting and I just thought good heavens, I have to take a picture and show people this.
'Countries in the EU are in dire financial straits and this is being allowed to happen. It's a 'let them eat cake' attitude.

I'm talking about people who are capable of full empathy, now. That is, 90% of the rational population.
I don't understand. Are you saying moral truths exist for those who are empathetic?

And that's your prerogative, as I stated, but really, recognize the basic truth that theft is wrong and realize that's just what he did.
^— I hate when that shit happens.
There's no such thing as a moral truth.

I chose the edge, obviously.

So you value your own life more than others, right?
I know its just human instinct to value your own life more than others but just wondering nonetheless.
I prefer my own existence, I wouldn't say it's more valuable, however. I could kill a person, but I wouldn't hold a grudge against he who kills me either. If that makes sense.

Human life has no intrinsic value.
So you also put no value on your own life?
As in you're not afraid of dying?
No, I'm not afraid of dying. Do I value my own life? Of course, but that's not an inference of intrinsic value.

If a thief steals your money, wins the lottery, and gives the winnings to you, making you a profit, are you angry at him? He could have lost, he literally gambled your money away. If he lost, he would have nothing to return. Personally, I would've stomped a mudhole in him, verbally or otherwise.
I'd have shook his fucking hand.

Nothing has any intrinsic value.

>taking things out of context
Not at all. The age of a practice has absolutely no bearing on its desirability.
That wasn't the point of me saying "that's nothing new" though.
Maybe, maybe not. Nonetheless, the consequence is to essentially remove any sort of moral culpability from the perpetrator.

I'd have no problem with life itself if life itself was voluntary, so that's why I'm an anti-natalist. So, unless you declare yourself an anti-natalist, you can't make the "right to choose" argument. It's internally inconsistent and hypocritical to do so. Out of interest, if a person were to absolutely declare that his parents made the right choice - almost like an ex post declaration of consent - would that absolve the parents of any wrongdoing?

This is nothing new.
Neither was slavery in 1863.

Ending a life using a gun, or an abortion clinic, either way your murdering somebody. But only one is illegal.
But I suppose we'll agree to disagree, because morals also play a factor.
Agreeing to disagree is intellectual cowardice. There's nothing inherently wrong with killing another human being. That's just how it is, and you'd be hard-pressed to find somebody who genuinely thought that it was. Abortion isn't about whether or not you're killing a person (you are) it's about whether or not it's better, for Civil Society, to have it legal and safe (it is).
