Best moral rule?

[Hammster]

JackOfSpades: Since you ask my opinion on it, I answer no, it's not okay because stealing is harming.

Hammster: Then you are a relativist.

Wow, Hammster, that doesn't make any sense. How do you figure that?


eudaimonia,

Maybe inconsistent would be a better term.

Remember, if you think it's a good moral code, it should be good for everyone.

Feel free to disagree with me, I am after all individualist and can make conclusion that such freedom-oriented world view might not be the best for you. That being said, I remain unimpressed by your logic.

Let's make similar case about Golden Rule:

I like juice. Drinking juice makes my life feel good. Let's assume I have a kid who is allergic for juice. Should I make him drink juice aswell?

Answer: Do to the kid as you would like to be done for yourself. So therefore, I wish my dad made me drink juice because it's good. So I make him drink juice and he gets bad medical complications. Epic fail.

Golden Rule doesn't work for everyone.

So what's good (true) for you might not be good (true) for me?
