Does an ethics course provide some sort of framework to think about questions like this? (as a thought experiment?)

That hopefully was sarcasm. Poe's Law.

I'd like to think so, too. Even as attempted humor, though, I just didn't see any way that was going to end up in a conversation worth having.

Check their post history tho.

I lost 4 karma points. I have now 88.

To be honest though, it would be a nice moment to discuss the creation of dystopian situations by organized AND unorganized irresponsible biological adults who declare there feelings/instincts undiscussable by a diety and thus end the conversation, long before the Flamethrowerbrigade can appear. But as long as cause and effect are timewise detached enough, such irresponsibilitys are non-discurse worthy it seems. It could also be a nice place to discuss other factions who declare there feelings absolute and holy undiscussable, thus ending any conversation. It could also be a masterpiece about how everyone in his corner, beeing smug gets nobody anywhere in rich countrys and civil wars going in poor countrys.

But it shall be none of those. Thus a change of program is needed:

The Following is the american first amendment as a poem,written with twelve Socks around each hand: mmmmmmmMMMMmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMmmmmMMMMMmMMMMMMmMmmmmmMMMM mmmmmmmMMMMmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMmmmmMMMMMmMMMMMMmMmmmmmMMMM mmmmmmmMMMMmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMmmmmMMMMMmMMMMMMmMmmmmmMMMM To discover truth, one must viciously attack ones own felt certaintys. Im certain moderation was right here.

Are you feeling ok.
