Do you consider yourself to be a moral person?

[mr.orange]

I think one way to see if you're moral or not is follow Kant's Categorical Imperative.
Basically it says to only do what you would allow others to do.

I'm a Moral Person but my friend doesn't think so. For example, when we go to stores, say J.crew, I try stuff on and just leave in the dressing room, or I don't put back things where they belong and I tell him that the workers will do. He tells me it's f'd up and impolite to do so but isn't that what the employees are for? I don't work there so why should I do their job? I mean yeah it'd be helpful but they freaking work there! If I worked at retail I would understand that this comes with the job. Who's right? Me or him?

alright i cant believe im doing this because i hated when it was done to me. but you need to be told this so here goes. assuming you are not the sock of one of two recently TO'ed posters

i think im one of the more easy going people here, especially considering how much inane **** i put up every day. nonetheless, you cant just waltz into this place and from post 1 say dumb **** and spit in the face of long time and respected members (not me) and expect not to be mocked. keep at it and i bet within a short period of time you blow a fuse and get banned. however if you chill out and stop pushing back so hard and try at least a little bit to get along you will have much better odds of having an enjoyable experience here.

What the fuckk?? It may be nice, and cool of you, to put the **** back, but it's not amoral not to... wtf... is your friend a devout christian/catholic/anything? If that's considered amoral in a religion these days it just shows how wacky religious people can get. Not putting stuff back after the dressing room? Come the **** on... I hope I didn't just get trolled....

I can do exactly that. This is an internet forum where people provide their opinion. I am not going to be what you want me to be. I am going to be myself, regardless of any long time and "respected" members. They are no better than me.

holy ******* shitballs man you are really trying not to get it. im not saying dont be yourself. i am myself all day, and most people here are themselfs too, and everyone gets flak now and then. but you can be yourself in a way thats respectful of others or not. you are clearly choosing the latter and its not doing you any favors.

no one is "better" than you so to speak but that doesnt excuse you from behaving with some common courtesy. does the fact that you are getting similar tones from literally everybody not raise a little red flag at all for you?

I have said nothing that is offensive or that could be deemed attacking someone. You are way off base here. Just worry about yourself and don't be concerned about me.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I am not trolling in any capacity. I am just providing an opinion that differs from yours.

It's hilarious that you even think in this capacity. Don't you have better things to do with your life?

Well that's good - I am better off this way without you chiming in how I post. It's been grand.

Honestly, of all the off-the-wall **** that gets thrown around on this forum, whatever Freewheeler said didn't even get a raised eyebrow from me.

HEY MAN, how've you been?

It's not what he said that set off everyone's troll detectors; it's his tone.
