This message has been marked as a message which has helped to the initial question of the thread.
>>You should not have to ask anyone about ethics. Either you have them or you do not.
>
>First of all, "having them or not" is a dangerous way of looking at whats right and wrong in this situation.
>
>There are different types of ethics, for exmaple, in moral theory, utilitarianism thinks that the happiness created by consequences is whats important regardless of motives, duty theory, in contrast, says you should do what you think everyone should do in all situations regardless of consequences. (of course there's more, thats just an example). So to someone, you may have morals and ethics, to someone else you don't.
>
>And completely refusing to ask anyone their point of view is just plain closed minded. There are so many different possibilities you aren't capable of putting together on your own (especially when you have strong Beliefs), and not asking when you are curious is like robbing yourself of a chance to learn.

>I hope you rephrase your post. Anything else, would be un-ethical ;-)

Mike;

I agree with what you said. One mans meat is another mans poison. However I will refrain from further philosophical discourse about ethics.
