[top] Thu Feb 7, 2008 9:20 AM CST : A Dilemma. Maybe.

jbibiza: I wholeheartedly agree with your first paragraph, but must disagree with the second... By cherishing the child inside us it allows us to continue to look at things through new eyes, to see the possibilities, to maintain hope and to continue to play!

I'm just sad when I look at "grown ups"... unable to see the magic all around, cynical and closed off from a bit of silliness. I hope I never grow up!!!

Depends on how you define "growing up," doesn't it? I wouldn't take that to mean the suppression of child-like joy; rather, I understand it to mean something like "becoming who you are" - which includes discovering who you are, and learning how you fit in the world.

I don't think he was entirely unreasonable to have *some* expectation, given that you did offer a time-frame, and given that you were getting along well. I don't think the assumption that he was only dating you for sex is warranted on that basis alone.

Wow. That's quite striking/beautiful, Leo! Thanks! I like the way it makes me mentally fill in her features (as I imagine them).

[top] Wed Feb 6, 2008 10:59 PM CST : Driving when on the cell phone

Dark1Angel8: Nebraska just passed a law that teenagers cannot be on a cell phone while driving. Automatic suspension of driving priviledges.

Personally to me, though, I can multitask enough that I can talk and drive at the same time and have automated features. Voice activated dialing, speaker phone or hands free device. To me, its no different than talking to the person next to me in the passenger seat.

Of course, I have known a few people who were all over the road when they used their cell. Its kind of like walking & chewing bubblegum, not everyone can do it.

Well, I think it makes a big difference driving hands free and driving with hand holding a phone up to or in front of your face. I don't have any problems talking to someone while I drive (keeping my eyes forward - don't believe in glancing at the person frequently), but I have noticed lapses in concentration holding a phone with one hand near my face.

I thought that was a good point, Paws: "...when you feel as young as any age you've ever been." The strange thing about getting older - at least for me - is that you don't feel old. And when you avoid mirrors like the plague, you can almost convince yourself that you are still young. I never expected that...but in a way, it makes sense: your sense of yourself is basically timeless - you contain all parts of your life, including your youth, within you.

jbibiza: Can I be an interfering busy body here? If not then please disregard the rest of this post!

Irishlass, I don't know you at all but I do know Ambrose a bit, and I can assure you that he was in no way attacking you... it's just not his style. He does put forth posts that do argue views and philosophies, and to be honest this would be a pretty boring site if we didn't have different views and by posting those hopefully we all get a chance to look at things from a different point of view which can only improve us all. Having said that...

Ambrose I have seen you be a bit more diplomatic in giving an opposing point of view, not up to your usual tactful manner, although the rest of your posts were much nicer... having a bad day? Maybe feeling a bit frustrated? Have some

Don't know what the hells gotten into me the past few days... all lovey and sh*t, not me at all! Now please kiss and make up, or tell me to mind my own da*n business!

I don't know, JB, I think maybe I was channeling EastBayRay for a few minutes there....

But sometimes I do get a bit impatient with people who make self-certain proclamations based on meager thought and study, I admit that. I've spent probably twenty years considering the concept of morality - read countless books, spent countless hours in quiet contemplation, and written probably a hundred essays about it - so perhaps I have a somewhat short fuse with people who make simplistic declarations based on perhaps thirty seconds of real thought.

Anywho, thanks for popcorn, JB.

AH, but does that make me irredeemably evil or completely good? If morality is truly black and white, one of these two answers must be true.

My point is to provoke thought, not to pick on you or anyone in particular. The idea is not to be satisfied with bromides one has picked up wherever, but rather to think about something independently, more deeply, and from a fresh perspective.

girlnextdormouse: But in this case, the OP isn't talking about herself having been cheated on. She's talking about being in a relationship with someone, who has in the past, cheated on someone else. Should she walk away when he has thus far, to her knowledge, been faithful in his current relationship?

I'm not disputing your notion that cheating is always wrong. In fact, I agree. There is no excuse for cheating and it is never justified.

But another part of having strong morals is having the ability to forgive others for their past misdeeds. It's having the ability to understand that people can mature, overcome prior sins, and change into better people.

According to the black and white thought process of cheaters will always be immoral people - if a teenage boy cheats on his highschool sweetie, he becomes branded for life. The price for his sin is a lifetime of solitude because even when he's 38, 52, 67, or 93 years old, he is unworthy of a loving relationship because "once a cheater always a cheater".

That is the logical conclusion of Irishlass's views. The above absurdity is only one of many reasons why such views make a mockery to true morality.

Konigsberg: Ambrose ... i have a question for you (forget for a sec about cheating issues )

How come you've chosen your name? ... as far as I know ... Ambrose was a name of a Wizard.

I took Ambrose from "Ambrosia" - "nectar of the gods." I guess I had this ongoing fantasy of being drank by a goddess or something?

irishlass45: I am not here to argue,I can't get any clearer than what I said earlier and that is Morals are part of what we are,it seperates us from animals,cheating is an animalistic behavior,and I repeat (with morals there should be no gray area) so yes,A is as bad as B the only variation in that is one was cheated on for ten years and instead of leaving he lowered himself to her acts and b was just always a shag,I think is what they call them.

The only consequence of this kind of thinking, in my view, is to reduce morality to meaninglessness. Fortunately, no one who has analyzed the subject deeply agrees with your simplistic and ultimately vacuous vision of morality.

In any case, the OP was asking about probabilities not about morality per se.

irishlass45: there is no distinction,no gray area,it is never ok to cheat sorry if there was an issue of understanding,my thoughts come out quicker than my words.

Okay, there are two issues here. The issue raised by Stargazer has to do with trustworthiness: If a person cheats once, does that mean he or she will (or is likely to) cheat again. Clearly the predictability of that action rests on the circumstances of the original action(s). For example, let's say someone is loyal to his girlfriend for 10 years, and then discovers that she has had multiple affairs during that time. In a paroxysm of hurt, the guy has sex with an old girlfriend. Now, would you say that it is equally likely that this guy (will call him "A") would cheat as it is that Guy B - who routinely has sexual relationships with many girls, lying to them all - would cheat?

That's the central issue here. The second issue, which you've raised, has to do with the moral status of various actions. I believe you're claiming that the moral status of A is equivalent/equal to the moral status of B? Do I have that right? Both are equally deserving of moral censure according to you?

irishlass45: Morals should NEVER be a gray area.

Your sense of morality forbids you from making the kind of distinction above?

I think it would increase the probability. However, the circumstances of his cheating have some bearing on that probability (for instance, cheating on a wife who was an invalid for 15 years is probably not morally equivalent to cheating on one or several girlfriends).
