Despite centuries of excessive materialism and selfish utilitarianism, humans are fundamentally #moral beings. If they are made aware of the suffering caused to #nature, they will make different decisions and live differently. This change in lifestyle is the only thing that can help nature. I am convinced of that. And this is the approach taken by #spiritual #ecology.

#AngieCraig: "I have no idea why we think it's a good idea to repeal a #tax on silencers when we are going to feed fewer children in our country as a result of this. It's a #moral damn failure is what it is."

Morne ambiance au Conseil des ministres ce jeudi matin, après la prestation ratée de Macron sur TF1 et la désastreuse audition de Bayrou à l'Assemblée sur Bétharram. "Ce n'était pas la teuf, confie un ministre, décrivant un Premier ministre "lessivé" après plusieurs heures à répondre aux députés. Sans compter les rumeurs de dissolution qui plombent les élus des différents courants de la droite...
“Those who profess to favor #freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters.
The struggle may be a #moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both.
But it must be a struggle.
#Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never did and it never will.”

The request, Rowe said, crossed a #moral line for the #EpiscopalChurch, which is part of the global Anglican Communion that boasts among its leaders the late Archbishop #DesmondTutu, a celebrated & vocal opponent of #apartheid in #SouthAfrica.
Nice. The #EpiscopalChurch has announced it will end its decades-old partnership with the #government to resettle #refugees, citing #moral opposition to resettling #white #Afrikaners from #SouthAfrica who have been classified as refugees by the #Trump admin.

If #Western governments had any sense they would realise this fact, work to re-establish the rule of #law, & try to establish the #moral basis for #mutual respect & #cooperation with the rest of the world.

Ist klar, @lyte - als Religionswissenschaftler habe ich oft mit Gläubigen zu tun, die fest davon überzeugt sind, ihrer sei "der einzig richtige Weg."
"Sicht der Tiere" - nun ja. Reale #Tiere fressen einander.
Mein Tip: #Ernährung nicht als #Religionsersatz missbrauchen, schon gar nicht für arroganten #Dualismus.
Denn historisch gilt: #Hitler war Vegetarier, #Jesus aß Fleisch. Wir können & sollten unsere #Mitwelt schützen, ohne uns als Holier-than-thou zu inszenieren. Meine ich. #Moral #Ethik
#moral : capable of right and wrong action or of being governed by a sense of right

and now please provide your #moral judgment on a "#healthcare" system that creates suffering, impoverishment and death... for profit
i am not condoning luigi's behavior
but if you don't understand the inevitable consequences of such a "healthcare" system, you are a fool
if i tell you that by driving drunk you will hit a tree and die, am i trying to kill you?
or am i warning you
and what would you say of a person, a society, that does not heed such an obvious warning?
if the next woman I am with is #vegan I will most likely go vegan etc... but for now I eat #meat and that's just the way it is. If you have a #moral and #ethical dilemma about it then unfollow me or block me because I know many other comrades who are #anarchists and still eat meat.

@jeffowski well, where’s the idea even coming from that you could be #moral AND #billionaire? There’s just no way of becoming that rich without #exploitation of others, which by itself is #immoral if you ask me. Granted, you did not ask, but anyway

Alltså en förklaring men sedan följt av uttalandet att det var fel och att de ångrar sig.
Jag älskar Norge för dess folks moraliska kompass. För tanken på att en offentlig ursäkt kan vara en god idé.
Jag kan inte för mitt liv komma på när jag hörde någon i ledande ställning be om ursäkt för någonting någonsin. Vilket är för j-a illa.
Gutter og jenter: ni är så underbara. 
Jag får nog flytta västerut när jag blivit pensionär.

There are so many ways of being human. We all develop in different ways & at different rates: to be slow is not a failing, smarts are not a #moral virtue.
Creating a #hierarchy of human worth paves the way for cruelty. Whose interests are served by doing this?

Exakt - das ist nicht die Antwort der Studentin, sondern von Sauron, einem feindseligen Dualisten!
Die Antworten etwa von Yoda, Pippi Langstrumpf oder von Elmo aus der Sesamstrasse fallen dagegen dialogisch-monistisch aus.
Verstehen & entscheiden, das ist der Weg der Ethik (im Gegensatz zur Moral, die die „richtigen“ Antworten zu kennen meint.) #Ethik #Moral #Monismus #Relativismus #Dualismus

I really don't think so.
I'm betting it will rebranded as a #casino, which is fitting in so many ways. Then it will go financially #bankrupt in a year, clearly the #moral bankruptcy is already taken care of. Then, and only then, will it be burned by #Trump, #Vance or maybe #Musk depending on who can fire who in this new world and a finally massive insurance claim will be filed.
