View Full Version : Your Ethics

I have always had the biggest problems wrestling with questions of ethics. After years of this, I have come to the conclusion that there is no way that any person can not be a hypocrite in matters of ethics.

Some people adopt an entire ethical system, where all their rules must agree with, or at least not contradict, each other. Some people feel bound by no such system.

Is there a "golden rule" or a set of golden rules that you follow when dealing with others? What are some things you think are absolutely right? Absolutely wrong?

My "golden rule" is that I always try to be as direct as I can with people. I appreciate candor in a person more than almost any other personality trait, so I think it only right to act in such a way that will leave room for self-respect.

I try to always keep my word and hate it when people don't do the same. Staying consistent with what you say is important to being a thorough motherfucker. It's a hard thing to always keep in check and everyone slips up from time to time, but I truly place the utmost importance in keeping my word as my bond.

I do not lie ever. I never bullshit people and I cant stand hypocracy. That said I always notice when Im personally being a hypocryte but I usually just continue what I am doing. What I think about people is this: every single person on the earth or off has a strong belief that thier values and beliefs are correct. Most people genuinely feel they are right. This may be an over-simplification but to me this seems to be at the root of all conflict. We all think we know whats best for the rest of the world and/or mankind. When we dont agree we kill each other.

i would never borrow underwear off a friend or share an umbrealla with a man no matter how rainy it is. kicking someone in the face when they are on the ground is wrong unless your sure they are gonna get back up and keep trying to fight or unless they dissed you on a message board. i always do my homework and i usually lie about why its late.

You pose a good question, Tally.

I think that to truly be called ethical, a person has to make the choice to adopt a set of principles to live their life by and that they can realistcally live with. I say that because we can justify anything. It think it all boils down to what you can live with.

For me, the only "Golden Rule" is the classic, treat others as you would want to be treated. I think that it applies to every aspect of life.

Yeah treat others how U want to be treated and be direct with everyone U encounter and strive to be positive @ all times.

You'd suprised how much easier shit goes daily just by saying simple shit like checking out at the store people ask U how you're doing I blow them away with a boisterous "I'm doing excellent" or "I'm doing better than I deserve" just today the old dude at the gas station was like "Wow I haven't heard anyone say that in a while(I left'em with a smile on his face)." People always dragging around downloading negativity on everyone they encounter is why U recieve bullshit customer service on the regular. I approach everything like that in life untill they do something negative towards me then I'm justified in returning fire.

Treat every child U encounter respectfully and help them because they're just a product of thier environment and are sponges.

Do old people respectfully because that's someone's mom or dad and U dam well better not disrepect mine.

If U knowingly do someone wrong be a man and be accountable and let them know U regret it. This happens to me alot when I get drunk and become a jealous ogre with females and flip on my partners and family.

Chef droppin diamond wisdom as always.

a man should never have semen in his mouth or stomach

I've wrestled with a situation that could result in this for years now. When a bitch gives you head, and she's done sucking it all out, what the fuck then. I don't want to make out with you any more!? Should i offer something to drink to get the taste of dick out of your mouth!?

Offering something to drink after is my best plan, cuz it can still subvertely look like hospitality. However, if they decline the drink, what then? Is that good night kiss (which you know is coming soon, especially when there isn't a use for her anymore) gonna be sticky and shit? My bitch now knows all about this, so she's good to go, but for the next lucky slut, what do i do? "Here, thanks for doing that, now wash your mouth out." THAT has always been something i've struggled with. Some tips would be great.

I have a clear view of what's right and wrong, but that doenst' mean i have to live by these rules constantly. They're always there, but in some situations i just ignore them. Just like a doctor who smokes : he knows it's wrong, but he does it anyway.

When i do 'wrong' things i know very well they aren't right, and i know i can't ethicly or morally justify them.

I can live with the fact that not every action of mine can be ethicly justified.
I'm not the pope. I never felt guilt over something i did wrong, because beforehand i thought things through, and made a cost-benefit analysis. It also helps that i never commit major 'sins'.

i think i got an innate ethical preset.i don't think about that shit and just treat people how i do.i don't need to think about that shit.i'm fair, honest and shit like that.i don't do grimy shit.and i look out for cats that do/would do the same.
at the same time i'm sure i'm a hypocrite at some things.i agree with your idea that you have to be to some degree.human nature rules out absolutes on that degree.

The ethics I described as my own aren't really ethics exactly. They aren't rules that if I violate, I feel some heavy tormenting feeling on my conscience. They are just rules that I see as necessary to maintaining a good state of being and stability for myself. I ain't on some "treat all people equally and with kindness because that's the right thing to do", nah.. that's bullshit.

i treat others as i expect to be treated,like a king.

ive stolen alot of what i beleive in from books like:might is right,and the satanic bible,even though its alot of bullshit,its also as true as it gets.

my favorite is if your enemy smite you on one cheek,destroy him!!!

hail satan.

my ethics are derived from my natural instincts, personal growth and my heart. It can be interchangeable in any givin situation. Sometimes your mind will play tricks on you though.

ethics, my own are really vague unless I put them into practice. Meaning, It's hard to tell what you would do when your just pondering the shit.

reminds me of drunk relatives talkin about shit ya gotta know or do while growing up.

Try not to be a hypocrite. Hypocrisy pisses me off especially when it's me doing it. I think we all have standards we try to attain but it's tough to follow through and not be a lazy bastard about it.

^same basically.

main things to me:

I don't do all that talk behind peoples back shit. if I have a beef with somebody I deal with them. I've been asked millions of times "why don't you like so and so? what happened?" my response is continuously: "that's between me and so and so."
only time I'll ever knock somebody behind their backs is if I've already said that shit to their faces. for instance, if a dood said some shit to me, and I say to his face: "i'll woop yer ass," I have the right to then say anywhere else in the world to anybody else "so and so? i'll woop his ass."

don't handle problems that you have with 1 person in front of their friends. that shit is wack. I remember watchin kids get wooped by their parents in front of me and their friends, and that shit makes everything awkward and drags other unneeded perspectives into an issue that should only concern those directly involved. if I got something to say to my roomate about how much of a fuckin slob she is, I wait for her friends to leave and then I approach her on the issue.

snitching is forbidden on everything. if somebody beat my sister until she went to a hospital, and I saw who did it, i'm not tellin anybody shit, i'm going to handle that myself. a snitch is less than human, a snitch is an animal.

have respect for yourself and your loved ones. show respect to all, give everyone the benefit of the doubt, stay on your toes, cuz you never really know when it comes to perceptions of yourself and of others. the dood wearin rainbow suspenders, a backpack, a fake rose gold no limit tank chain and a kill whitey beanie sitting in a rental hummer on 23's could be the illest emcee in the world, but you would never of hurd him cause you judged the book by his cover.



those are just some main things.
