Hitler was part Jewish, it means nothing though- there is only good and decent people or complete wastes of skin, it's easy to figure out who is who.
Wastes of skin can be utilized, especially by the vain.
A man only learns such ethics two ways, one by reading, and the other by associating with people smarter or more religious than themselves.
I have little quarrel with the fluoride stare,
but those who seek to knock these headless horsemen off their chariots without providing a new method, they can get wasted.
I like the train tracks switch test for us who found our psychopathy:
Do nothing, and the trolley kills the five people on the main track.
Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person.
Which is the correct choice?
Being a rough rider and a deontological ethics guy, I'm not going to USE the one man who is not in front of a train to save the 5 people.
In these times when a man stands alone, he's probably in the right anyways.
Kant's deontology states people are rational by categorical imperative, but that's clearly not the case any longer.
I think it is more likely that being religious — and being religious in a particular way — is what promotes such commitments
HOME OF THE BRAVE!
