Ethics

Journal Entry: Sat May 3, 2008, 5:27 AM
Ethics: The proper method for implementing a double standard.


1) It is not ethical to claim that Jews are cheap, it is however
perfectly fine to assume that all Muslims are terrorists.

2) It is not ethical to legalize murder, but it is clearly acceptable
to remain idle and simply allow someone to die.

3) It is not ethical to break the speed limit, but plainly it is
alright to refuse to implement a stop light at a dangerous
intersection.

4) It is not ethical to share somebody's copyrighted music on The
Internet, but it is perfectly fine to charge an outrageous sum of
money when selling an album.

5) It is not ethical to rob someone at gun point, it is however
ethical to charge three and four or more dollars for a gallon of
gasoline.

6) It is not ethical to violate company policy, it is however
mandatory that unethical policies be not only written, but also
enforced.

7) It is not ethical to refuse to take medication when you are sick,
but it is 100% acceptable to refuse people medical treatment by
default of those persons not being able to afford medical insurance.

8) It is not ethical to eat large amounts of unhealthy foods, it is
however totally okay to charge so much money for healthy foods, that
most people can not afford them.

9) It is not ethical to submit a monetary bribe to someone in a
political position of power, however if you wish to lobby one of your
representatives, this is clearly acceptable.

10) It is not ethical for an individual to infringe on a copyright, it
is however justified to violate the copyrights of others while
pursuing those whom have misused your intellectual property.

11) It is unethical to write tasteless jokes about ethics, however it
is perfectly alright to assume that everyone else's point of view is
wrong and that yours is the only correct perception.

12) It is unethical to plagiarize peoples creative works, it is
however ethical to acknowledge that this one was written by Time
Warrior (Dave Kelso) whom among other sites and services, is the Sysop
at malkaviabbs.com [link] and also owns legalmusicsearch.com [link] as
well as legalvideosearch.net [link] among several others.

You got some snide humour out of me for a couple of points such as gasoline, medical and sustenance.

Well the truth can be somewhat amusing, even when it's a hard pill to swallow.

Haha, you mean such things as corruption in government and how it will always be a fact of life? (Not to mention lobbyists.)
