I can see you did well in your Phil 101 class. i was asked about the ethics of drug taking and p much all of the authorities are of the view that drugs=bad

Starshark posted:There's literally a logical fallacy called 'appeal to authority' how can you be this loving dumb. my position is that drug taking is unethical and the balance of authorities supports that proposition. the fact that drug use is prohibited by both state and religious sanction is irrefutable proof that drug use is unethical by prevailing community standards.

negligent can you explain from base philosophical principles why drugs are unethical

# ? Nov 30, 2015 14:26 |

ok, laws against drugs prove that the 'prevailing community standard' is that drugs are unethical. by the same logic, was the holocaust ethical due to 'prevailing community standards' that were indifferent at worst and greatly supportive at best?

yes but by the same token drug users aren't in favour of drug laws and likely subscribe to a philosophy that is not anti-drug. after all you said yourself it is the authorities who decide what is moral.

# ? Nov 30, 2015 14:33 |

no i didnt. im talking about ethics and its not interchangeable with morality. the views of drug users are of a minority compared to the prevailing ethical standards supported by law (an embodiment of what the state thinks is ethical) and religious standards subscribed to by a large plurality of the community.

if you swap in 'jews' for 'drug users' in that last paragraph your argument can be used to call the holocaust ethical, just fyi

not really the nazi state passed laws that were discriminatory but hitler notoriously avoided putting anything in writing about the holocaust. in addition you can easily argue that there was a disconnect between the non-democratic nazi state and its people such that its laws werent representative of the prevailing ethical standards. whereas in australia we have a democratic state where laws generally are legitimately representative.

Then Abbott got on the blower," says Mitchell. "He rang me about 10 minutes after my response to Credlin. "He asked me why I'd object to Peta's request to sack Niki when I had sacked Glenn Milne [an earlier columnist at The Australian] at Julia Gillard's request. I explained to him that that wasn't what had happened." Abbott denies asking for Savva's sacking, but Mitchell says that was exactly the interpretation he'd put on the prime minister's call.
