dreadrocksean reacted to Capitalism Forever in Death Entertainment
That which is moral should be legal. That which is immoral but does not violate the rights of anyone should still be legal.
Death matches are immoral. That much had been established even before this thread started.
Do death matches violate the rights of anyone? If yes, who is it whose rights they violate?

Then minimizing casualties has something to do with your self interest, which is not being mentioned. Otherwise, there is no law in the universe which says 1 is better than 5.

dreadrocksean got a reaction from intrinsicist in The Trolley Problem
You action caused the death of an innocent person. Regardless of the reason. You intent was also to kill the innocent, so you cannot claim ignorance or accident.

dreadrocksean got a reaction from Harrison Danneskjold in Do children have property rights independent of parents?
I agree with A is A.
Though a child does not legally own anything, ownership is the key to western civilization and a core of individual rights - property rights. This should be paramount as a concept to instill in our young from as early on as possible.
The sharing instinct does not kick in until the ownership one has. One cannot share what one does not own.
The closer we adhere to the Trader Principle in our relationships, the closer we come to World Peace. One cannot trade what one does not own.
Keeping a toy just because, losing friends in the process, is just plain stupid and well within a parent's motivation to correct. But this must not be be done at the expense of the child's concept of ownership.
