62. The two are synonyms - do you think your understanding of words
Edited on Fri Jan-30-09 08:49 PM by merh
can alter long accepted definitions? Just because you "say so" makes it so?

I consider myself a moral person, what you have listed as an absolute "morality" is disgusting and is not morality in my book or in the book of those I know that are ethical.

synonyms moral, ethical , virtuous , righteous , noble mean conforming to a standard of what is right and good. moral implies conformity to established sanctioned codes or accepted notions of right and wrong <the basic moral values of a community>. ethical may suggest the involvement of more difficult or subtle questions of rightness, fairness, or equity <committed to the highest ethical principles>. virtuous implies moral excellence in character <not a religious person, but virtuous nevertheless>. righteous stresses guiltlessness or blamelessness and often suggests the sanctimonious <wished to be righteous before God and the world>. noble implies moral eminence and freedom from anything petty, mean, or dubious in conduct and character <had the noblest of reasons for seeking office>.


I suppose your attempts to pervert and distort the words are a perfect example as to how other humans pervert what is "moral".
