User:NealIRC/Morality

Note: this page is currently new and poorly organized.

My system of ethics.

Among my biggest philosophies are:

1a.Giving the benefit of the doubt than the disadvantage of the doubt. 1b.Doing n/a than to give the disadvantage of the doubt. 1c.Giving the benefit of the doubt than n/a.

2.The Golden Rule.

3.Innocent until proven guilty over guilty until proven innocent.

Reactions:

Usually 2 things can happen when something unfortunate happens to someone.

They became mad, or sad.

I prefer to go sad (than angry) and probably prefer people to become sad than mad. Of course, a neutrality reaction is also okay.

My system of rules: the philosophy and logic of enforcing and making rules.

Faith:

I reject the strong practicing of faith.

Morality:

Real-life moralities.

-If I witness a fight (particularly between children), I would defend the beated-up victim, or watch around to make sure no one is seriously hurt. -I call the police if I witness anything bad (not between children). However, if such a case where I had a camera, and the criminal may run off, I'll be sure to take a photo of the incident before calling 911. And when the criminal runs off after I call 911, I'll confront the victims and tell them I called 911, and took a photo of the incident as proof. Example: someone mugging someone. -When sitting on the train or bus and someone asks me the time, I tell them. But maybe if they get off 10 minutes later, I update to them the time before the exit. This means "I actually have a memory." Or if I get off before them some 15 minutes later, I'll try to update them the time anyways. -When I see, for example, in a park or cafeteria, people throwing trash into a garbage can, and it misses, and they don't pick it up, I go up there myself and pick it up and throw it in.

Domination of conversation:

This means I don't "dominate" conversations. I let the other person decide what to talk about.

Cell phone usage.

Cell phone usage can:

-Take up a person's minutes. -Take up their time. -Increase their bills.

So the 1st thing I do when I phone someone is ask if they're busy or not and if they have a numerical figure amount of time. I absolutely hate it if I can't remember what else I had to say.

So if I had 3 questions for them, I would write it down on paper, then at the start of the phone conversation, after asking them if they have time/busy or not, I tell them I have 3 questions. When I'm done asking my questions, I'll let them know that that's all the questions I had, and so it's up to them if they want to continue the phone conversation. That means the line is now theirs. Or they can say ok and and hang up, as I've acknowledge the end of my part of the conversation.

This is, of course, a method to take into consideration when and why you're calling someone, and to not let them decide what they could talk to you about just because you phoned them.

Conversation starting.

I don't really use conversation starters like "Hey how are you?" or "How was your weekend?" (unless I really cared to know). Quite frankly, I believe in talking to someone only if I had something to say. I don't pull up random comments out of the blue. So if I came up to someone and wanted to talk to them about something, I'd be sure to ask if they are busy and approximately how long I want to take up their time. Basically, I don't walk up to people sitting down on a table and walk in and start a conversation with them.

Responsibility:

If I ever told someone I was to meet them somewhere at sometime and I was going to be late, I'll be sure to let them know I'm being late (assuming we were referred by phone).

The ability to be useful:

I consider examples to be useful include:

Having/providing a lot of extra umbrellas out on a rainy day. Having/providing a lot of extra water bottles on a hot sunny day. Knowing how to perform CPR and Heimlich-maneuver. Having a cell phone. Knowing to give directions in your area.

I currently:

Carry a bright LED flashight everywhere I go, especially at night. Carry a flare everywhere I go, especially at night.

Special occasions: digital camera, binocular (mostly at night).

Wikipedia policies:

I'm against the revert of something without providing an explanation, and unwilling to talk about it.

Philosophies:

(Repeat) Better to be sad about an incident than to be angry about an incident.

Better safe than sorry.


 * Better to ask for permission than to ask for forgiveness.

The Golden Rule:


 * Equal reputation: If a person you don't like does something you don't like, then a person you do like that does the same thing the person you didn't like does, you should be against it in the same way.


 * (Repeat) If *anyone* does something you don't like or are against, that doesn't justify that someone you do like doing the same thing should be okay in your own moral code.


 * (Opinion version) If someone you don't like has an opinion that you don't like, then if someone you do like has the same opinion as that of someone you don't like, you should treat the opinion the same regardless of who holds it.

Morality:


 * Not only are people good/bad by what they *do* do, they are also good/bad by what they *don't* do.

Regarding arguments.


 * In a rational argument, you can't ignore an argument and instead criticize the person who made it. You have to find an error in the argument before you're allowed to criticize the person who made it. Of course, I personally don't like to criticize the person but instead, criticize the person's argument since I'm against committing the ad hominem fallacy. And I'm also against cyberbullying. In a rational debate, I also have to accept your argument if I can't find any errors in it.
