@nick_hero22: You need to be obligated to do something good? We don't live in a world were we are obligated by evolution to act like animals and savages, just because we are animals. Morals are what people perceive them to be, just like how we perceive objects and patterns to have some sort of meaning.
We make sense of the things around us and give them meaning, and creating behavioral ethics is a means of self preservation to some extent.
This conversation is going nowhere, I get where your coming from with the whole "were animals so why not act like it, or nothing has meaning." But guess what humans give meaning to things, you just need to accept that.
You just repeating yourself and not answering any of my question. You claimed that this is a valid ethical framework but when I put a little pressure on it it pretty much fell apart because your weren't able to give an adequate explanation of the standard to which we hold certain actions nor the reason why we are obligated to perform some actions and not others, so at this point we can feel free to disagree. Again, I already told you I believe that morality is objective and there is something called moral obligations; but I don't think what you advocated here was a good ethical framework for the reasons I already highlighted above.
You kept using hypothetical, yeah you really destroyed my way of thinking. Instead why don't you actually tackle what I'm saying instead of throwing around hypothetical situations. Moral obligations isn't something I'd live by.
@jugjugbanks: Hehe I think I would want to do smooth and flawy, the other option interests me as well. I think I'm going to buy a few art supplies tomorrow.
Question: do I draw on the canvas with a pencil than paint over it, what do people usually do?
