Moral Issues in Discussions

Now everyone has the same views on morals. Sure, we would hape that we would all have proper morals, but who defines proper? Who defines normal? I agree that it should be a given that having an affair is wrong. But there are some people that do believe in having more than one wife or even having more than one partner and their first partner is okay with it. Now, that is not my cup of tea...I don't share well. But not everyone has the same view. I guess that is why people post here those questions. Or maybe they post the discussion question to get a rise out of people. As if the more responses one gets earns them more. It doesn't. I see a lot on here that I don't agree with either. But I just try to move on. There are times that I must answer though. And when I do, I am sure to try to word myself so I do not offend anyone else that does not hold my same opinion. But feel free to vent because I am sure there are many here that feel the same way. :)

I don't know? I think that it is interesting to read different people's views, even though it is obvious which is morally right and which is wrong in the instance of the question that you mentioned about having an affair. I just think that hearing all types of viewpoints is always fascinating, even if I don't agree with some of them! ^_^

Well, I feel there is nothing wrong with discussing things of any nature here. Just because you may not always agree with someone, that does not personally give you a right to say they are wrong. Not everyone on here is a Christian, and not everyone even who is a Christian will have the same thoughts and beliefs. I would think a forum is where we can come together and discuss any views and topics and all just find out niche.

People should, but the newer generation might not. With movies and the media, stars and so forth, they are setting bad examples for youngsters growing up. It is so very sad.

no v shouldn't ask that question with any one of them if v doesn't know them. and if v find something is useful for any body who is in trouble and want to see that it doesn't occur then it should b asked and it has to b removed as soon as possible.

It' s a good point. I think that maybe some poeple ask these sorts of questions 'cos they know a lot of peolple will have an opinion on them. I'm not sure if it increases the quality of postings but it can certainly increase the quantity.

I am with you on this one, I believe marriage can be very hard but there is no excuse for having an affair, if you were not serious about your vows than you should never have taken them, no one is forced into marriage these days.

Yes,there is a need to reform us all on morality.It is much better to base our studes to the Scriptures particularly in Proverbs.We will be guided accordingly.

You're right, people should know right from wrong. But, sometimes they know it's wrong what they're about to do, they just want to hear someone else say that it's wrong as well for them to realize what they're about to do.

I am old enough to remember when The Box and Number 96 first hit our TV screens. Today those shows would seem tame by comparison, but when they started, they caused an uproar. I said at the time that the biggest problem with those shows was that they presented an unnatural lifestyle as normal. To many viewers, those shows depicted "normal" people living a "normal" life but it was far from what had been considered normal until that time. Young people grew up believing that this was normal, and guess what? It became normal for them. Not long after those shows commenced, we saw the first "Love Child for Stars" headline in magazines. Until that time, this would have been one of the best kept secrets, but now it was something not only acceptable, but praiseworthy. Couples began openly living together and the word "partner" took on a new meaning. From there, it would seem that most morals went out the window, helped along with the women's liberation movement. That was the case in Australia, but I'm sure the same thing happened in other countries. Things went downhill very quickly, as TV became more and more daring, and I believe that is why we have this lack of morals today. I agree that people should automatically know the answer to that question, but considering the "conditioning" they have had, it appears they are no longer sure. They have been taught to make excuses and to excuse. They have been taught they have a right to live as they please. Yes, I know I've been ranting too, but I see the plight of young people and it breaks my heart. I so wish they could see the long-term harm they are doing to themselves.

Yea our world has changed so much that people do not know the difference between right and wrong. SO SAD....

I can't figure them out either and it always seems to be their best friend, sister or brother - never themselves. The message I am getting is either that they enjoy these types of discussions and want to see if it is a frequent practise. I never respond to these topics, but yet again, they get lots of response.

Rant away its what this site is for lol Yes, people should automatically know the answers to most questions asked on here but they still ask as they just want to earn some money! I think some people are running out of things to ask when they start a discussion and so they are starting to use moral issues as a topic. Yes some may even be made up just to try to earn more on here. As they do always seem to attract more replies, So whos to say if its right or wrong of them to ask personal moral questions? I think thats its interesting to read different peoples views on all kinds of subjects, some i agree with some i dont. If someone does'nt like one topic you can always just move onto the next.. Nobody states you have to read them all. As they say 'each to their own' and as there is now nearly 56000 members we are bound to cover all kinds of subjects and nobody is going to like or agree with all the topics started on here are they?

I know. some people just have nothing better to do so they write silly discussions as time-pass. wish there were more poeple like to improve the quality of discussion topics. by the way, why dont you initiate something interesting?

I'm with you! For the past 20 years, tv and movies have shown our young people that it is okay to sleep around, live together without being married, have s*x at the office, and a ton of other things. Tolerance was taught to the extreme...whatever anyone wanted to do was okay as long as they thought it was okay...it's not right to judge someone else, you know! And if you dared to talk about "Christian" morals, you were criticized for being old fashioned or too judgemental, or too religious. After all, there is supposed to be separation between religion and public life! ARGH! NOw look what you've done! I'm ranting too! LOL

sometimes even if you know that whats right and whats wrong, still you need to confirm it from someone else coz advice given by others are mostly non-biased. hence i dont find anything wrong in posting such discussions

Unfortunately, it is not automatic and there are lots of varying views. It is an eye opener for me personally to hear what people have to say on different moral issues. Some ideas that I think can only be seen on movies are actually voiced out by real people and are quite strong on their stand on several issues. I keep my mind open to this. I read most of the postings but I don't necessarily respond to the ones I think are of offensive nature, at least for me.

i totatlly agree with you point. people know they are doing correct or not, but when they did something wrong, they gave a lot of excuse to explain, or even deny what they had done. i think these all a the trend in the world.

Yeah i think this is because of environmental influences...because too many people has been doing it...then it becomes alright to do it......
