[dorantes1995]

I am a moral absolutist.

So, basically, you view certain topics as if they are absolutely right or wrong?

What about washing your hands? Does that not destroy millions of bacteria?

I see your reasoning.

Yet, are you saying that it is moral then to kill this puppy? Or the actions are neither right or wrong. The actions are just evident, and to be opinionated?

Murder a human being because a puppy died? Let's keep you out of power.

Haha. I lol'd.

*EDIT*

Yeah, but it is quite evident that doing such a thing is wrong, and you're going to get is a bunch of spam of people talking of how wrong it is.

I laughed.

Yes.

I view it as neither moral nor immoral, but identical to throwing a stick off a cliff.

 

[Tgump]

I view it as neither moral nor immoral, but identical to throwing a stick off a cliff.

In other words, you do not attribute specific moral or immoral value to certain events?

 

[HyperSecret]

unb4nn3d are you a vegetarian then?

But yes this is cruel but worse things happen in life. They probably see dead animals on the street in Iraq and have seen their closest friends killed. Do you honestly think they give a rats ass about that dog?

 

[antchak]

Your response is emotional.

I found it funny.

For someone who was just arguing moral rights in the anti Rape device thread, I wouldn't have expected that.

That is actually inhuman. I really cannot fathom how, in good conscience, someone could actually throw a dog off a cliff. I am not a animal rights activists, but I still have firm beliefs in innocent animals being treated fairly, and not mistreated. I'm pretty sure that is mistreatment.

rofl but how would you like it if that was your puppy being thrown over that cliff?

 

[madhacker14]

I support the marines... and I support animal rights... Im sideing with the animal thats fucked up.

Kant's categorical imperitive, somewhat like the Golden Rule, states that one's moral duty is to always treat persons as persons {living beings as living beings} and not things, or as ends in themselves and not merely as means to one's own ends. Morally justifiable actions are "universalizable", meaning that one could rationally will to live in a world in which everyone in a similar situation acted that way- even if, hypothetically, one did not know one's own situation in that world.

Ok. So, under Kant's categorical imperitive, any action that we can rationally and sincerely will for any person to do in a situation would be considered moral. If we cannot rationally and sincerely will for someone to do that action, that action is immoral.

So, can we rationally and sincerely will for someone, regardless of whether he is a marine or not, to demonstrate cruelty to animals by chucking a puppy off the side of a ship?

The answer... would be no. First of all, all living beings have a basic set of rights, one of which is the right to be alive. But by tossing the puppy overboard, the marine is violating the one of the dog's essential rights. Seeing the harm this produces makes it impossible for us to sincerely reccommend that course of action, thus making it immoral.

Furthermore.. how can we claim an act of senseless violence against an innocent animal as rational?

We can't, once again. The animal has limited ways to defend itself. The marine is vastly overpowered in comparison. How is it rational to harm something that has done you little to no harm and has very little potential to do so? The act cannot be rational, so under Kant, it cannot be moral.

You retards may not know this but AlQaeda and the taliban are known to surgically insert IEDs (improvised explosive devices) as well as detonators into animals. my dad is currently in iraq and just about a week ago they detected a donkey with a remote inside its left rear leg. when the donkey walks near the hidden explosives, it'll beep then detonate.

what that ARMY SOLDIER (not marine, look at the rank faggots) did was cruel tho. that dog didnt have anything on it because its way too small to have anything in it.
its definatly army tho. not marine.

Meh, I don't really care. First of all, can you verify that this isn't fake? Not like it really matters, but I remember hearing that it was.

More importantly though, these guys probably BOTH have Post-traumatic Stress Syndrome. A lot of it. They're seen a ton of shit, and they needed something to take their emotional anger out. They masked it with feelings of humor and satisfaction. Who would you rather it be, an innocent human or an innocent irrational animal?

 

[Fsoul]

Im hoping he got some sort of punishment for his actions... , even if they are emotionaly stressed, they should have known what the job took before they signed up

 

[TrIggA]

I actually laughed.

me @ your sig



weird. stop arguing about moral issues.
Like a similar thread comes up EVERY week, its wrong, we all are aware of that.
But seriosly stop your virtual mobbing and get over something that has already happened - you cant do anything about it.

 

[tubba lub]

sad and gross.

 

[Cool Dog]

This is cruel and unusual, why would you even post such a video?

 

[natin1337]

i think its fake truthfully

 

[rmcb07]

I hope that guy dies a horrible painful death...that is the worst thing I have EVER seen...

 

[Christmas Crackers]

So popular consent defines universal morality?

Unfortunately, yes. People do not try to understand WHY it is immoral, they just know it is. Ask them why and they won't know the answer.
