dude, if this is about sleeping with underage girls, please just get it into your head
It's not just about that, it's about everything else, too.

Noteworthy said: anyone can take a risk at doing things that society condemns... the reason there is law and punishment is so that people have great reason to not do that.
Why are there stupid ass laws? I wish there wasn't...

Noteworthy said: stop trying to justify your immoral acts. following the law is not directly about living a good life, it is about avoiding having a crap life.
Those acts are not immoral to me.

Noteworthyl said: generally, killing other people will result in a bad life because of guilt. if you were a sociopath, then obviously there would be no issue to an individual with killing someone else. except, that they may get caught.
I believe it's alright that murder is illegal, but I think it's bullshit that there are laws which control our sexual behavior.
Quote:
Noteworthy said: if you think you can get away with your socially condemnedbehavior, go ahead. mostly everoyne on this website takes drugs and avoids getting arrested. but you know, its no the same sleeping with young girls.
I look pretty young myself, so I could just always lie about my age like my dad used to do.
Quote:
Noteworthy said: how will you stop them feeling guilty, letting slip that they slept with you?
I just have to find a cool chick that does not give a fuck.
Quote:
Noteworthy said: anyway if this has nothing to do with sleeping with underage girls then go ahead and develop this thread with some examples
I made this thread in reaction to meatcakeman's "Moral Sanity" thread; I think the concept of "moral sanity" is completely ridiculous, and it implies that there is an objective morality that all people "must" follow.
I make my own rules.

Remember, I'm an old-ass 20 year old man.
BTW, the reason the quality of my posts has become shittier is because I haven't been in school for a while, and am becoming dumber and dumber by the day as a result.

Jesus.
"I have come not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it." -- Jesus
I'd say there's nothing in his morality that wasn't in some part inspired by the Jewish and Hellenistic cultures he grew up in. He may have emphasized certain aspects of it that had been neglected by others, but it was by no means independent of his cultural background.

According to the Bible, he got his morality from "God".
