Anybody up for a random meme dump?

And I say that its pretty darn hard to derive ethics from "morality" as "morality" tends to be arbitrary. My "morals" aren't the same as yours, but my ethics probably are.

It doesn't matter how you try to spin it, ethics are a product of morality. You say that your morals aren't the same as mine, but our ethics are. The problem with that is, I would bet our morals align in more areas than you think they do and those lines most likely converge at those pesky ethical standards.

Different cultures have completely different ethics and that is a direct result of their collective moral beliefs. Much of society, like yourself, are trying to put project your ethics onto the rest of the world, but that's just not reality.

Well, whatever. I won't argue semantics, because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter anyway. I've heard lots of "morals" that I disagree with, not so much ethics as ethics asks "who gets hurt?", whereas "morals" ask "who thinks that's bad?" The problem is that its easy enough to come up with "morals" - and laws - but ethics are a bit harder to define.
 
Hey, how about y’all DM each other, or at least start a thread where people that care can click on.

Prove what I said is incorrect.
Even our founding fathers moral beliefs guided their drafting of the constitution. However they wrote it such a way as to draw the line between what they personally believed and equality for different beliefs so long as ones beliefs did NOT harm or interfere with others. So their personal morals shaped the ethics.

I was answering the question you asked.
