  1. Somewhere way back when people decided it's not right to steal, cheat, kill, lie, or have an affair. Look familiar? Part of the ten commandments.

    To me this is just a big bucket off turkey poo, but it may also be correct. As i said, i don't think that any one knows where the social standards for right and wrong came from, but if enough sheep say it's wrong, then it is seen as wrong.

  2. If someone proposes that we should follow a certain standard, I would like to know how said standard came to be, why its agreed upon, and why I should follow it.

    It's a good point, which i dout any one will have the answer for. The said standard may infact come from within each individual. Their own views/beliefs. Or it may infact come from the teachings of others. Which ever way, all of us have some standard that we follow, most of the time it happens to be the same as some one elses. Hence the follow like sheep attitude. If enough people believe it to be wrong then that is how it is judged.

  3. There's a name for it, but it is society's standards. We all need to be held accountable to it

    Which society? The civilized morality society, the savage morality society, the united states morality society, or the nazi morality society? Where did these standards come from and/or who put them there?

    We have these moral code in place, but only about 75% of the population follows it.

    Well, the 25% are probably living their lives the way they want to live, without anyone telling them how to behave or what to do in a given circumstance. Why should they follow something they believe to be unnecessary? If morals are nothing more than social constraints established by the 75% of society, why should the 25% have to live by anything else but their own rules?

    Thats very true, and these people also have a natural right to think as they do, but do they also have the right to force this on others?? Do the 75% have the right to try and change these people??

    Another thing to keep in mind is that "Religous" people going door to door may be annoying and bothersome but in their minds they are trying to tell people about salvation and keep them from damnation.

    What if i dont care about salvation and damnation, do i still need these people coming to my door telling me about it, do they have these rights. Do i have the right to tell them to take a hike??

    Not trying to offend any one here, but these are the questions that get asked. This is the line and the views i wrote about earlier. Every one sees thing differently, and this is their right, isn't it.

  4. Another thing to ask is where does discrimination start. I know it's clear with things like racial remarks, but what about the smaller things. If you are annoyed that your neighbour has more money than you, does that mean your discriminating against the rich. What about the guy or girl that gets all the hot dates, is this discrimination against the sexy. Again it all comes down to individual views. No one likes to admit that they discriminate, but the facts are that all of us do, it just depends on the view and the scale of it all.

  5. That's what both flyby's and my rets do. Flyby uses the height markers to judge range instead of using the bino's, mine you use the bino's to get the distance then line up the appropriate range mark and fire. If done correctly then both are very effective.
