Where are all the people that have morals ?

I am a 34 year old female. I know what you mean. I cannot comprehend some of things that are going on and the way people talk, but that is just people. They do not know any better and maybe they do and just don't care. Remember we are on the world wide web and I believe that maybe for the most part, a lot of people with high standards don't spend a lot of time in areas like this on the web for the very reason that you are speaking of. \n\nI am here because I love to help people and answer questions. It is so cool when someone sends me an e mail saying that I helped them out! I love it! I actually acheived making a  difference for someone. \n\nJust avoid the bad questions. I think sometimes people do it just for a reaction or attention. \n\nI give you thumbs up! Gunther gives you four paws up! I commend people that appreciate the good and simple things in life and people that live good decent lives and wish to share it with others.

I think this is more an opinionated question.  But the least corrupted country i have been to is Iceland.  People there do not carry guns or lock their doors, no one has murdered anyone in the last 20 years.

Who the hell do you think you are to judge parents for their kids morals?!\n\nParents give what they can to their kids, we can't force them to live by what we believe is right, or wrong.  All we can do is give them the tools, and pray for the best.\n\nThe young people you think have no morals may be the very doctors, nurses, or lawyers you need in the future!

You question has an assumption that secular people have no morals of right and wrong.  This is religious bias that has been taught to children.  The word "Secular" can mean anyone from any other religion but their own.  \n\nThrough out history, this type of thinking has created more wars and loss of live than any other reason.  It hearkens back to the Crusades where the Christians fought the Islams.  \n\nPeople in general know right from wrong.  I believe our society is falling apart because of lack of education and opportunity.  Why are there rich people and poor people.  Rich people commit crimes just as much as poor people do.  The media is good at sensationalizing the plight of the poor as being "Bad".  \n\nThis of course is only my opinion.  I do not subscribe to the religious bigotry of blame those who are different.

An infuriating paradox, isn't it? Immorality has secured many parts of the world, but not all. \nContrary to popular belief, morality is making a comeback. We have the technology age to thank for this. The Information Age has turned the tables on people who formerly relied on people not finding out. If you've kept track of politicians across the nation, more and more are being uncovered for this or that political infraction. Crooked politicians are finding it harder and harder to survive. More and more states and municipalities are adopting laws and policies outlining a code of conduct.\nI truly believe that were it not for the moral man, these shifts in ethics and accountability would not have begun. \nDon't get caught up in the drama of movie making. Remember, the producers will do anything to grasp your attention. Flowery quotes can only seem to live in fictional backdrops these days. As long as each of us does their part in preserving morality, I think moral man will survive.

I don't know that there is a moral per se.. I suppose one could say that all people have a destiny to fulfill, and that we should sieze opportunities when they present themselves.

There really seems to be no universal moral code that applies to the younger folks today.  I'm sad to say that I think most young folks do whatever feels right for them at the moment.  There is no concern about the impact on society or on others.

Here, here! Let's have orgies, lawlessness, & the like. Who needs morals?

YES, Morals are your belief system. Ethics are our populas/public view of how things should be or are which ever the case.

In addition to the idea that there are universal morals (such as killing and stealing), just because morality is relative doesn't mean it doesn't exist.\n\nAttitudes towards sex are a great example of moral relativity.  Even in our own country we've become very accepting of pre-marital sex. This doesn't mean we still don't have a set of morals about sex, it just means they've changed over time.  Morality shifts, but still exists.

I believe that you can have morals and ethics without religion. For the record true christians live what the bible says theres no justifing it at all The church i go has taught me its not about religion at all it's about a personal relationship with  God and and allowing him to come in and take our mess that we created in return of something wonderful it's all about faith. I know people who are wickian and have morals.

Where can we find those free people, coty?\n\nJenni, tell me, how do we enforce morality? Morality has to be ingrained.  It has to be in examples seen and heard every day, from different sources.  TV? Turn it on.  What do you see? Trash?  Radio? What do you hear? More trash? People cheating, lying, stealing, killing, cursing, drinking, doing drugs? Morality is learned from our national and community leaders (who have failed abysmally to establish high standards, either party), newspapers, TV, radio, schools, peers, other adult acquaintances, and of course from parents and other adult family members.  You sound like a moral, caring person, but how many of them are out there?

In the Catholic Church we are taught about the relevance of 'Baptism and the Cardinal Sins.'\nAs for a social value to morals in my opinion are great buoyance for the development of any society.\nIn answer to the question, I believe that cardinal sins are in the realm of religion and spiritual beliefs, and morals are our acquired social traits by accepting and living by good social values.

Criminals have one thing going for them: They know how to gain ones trust. This skill helps them the achieve their ultimate goal. That is why I believe a bit of skepticism when you meet people for the first time is OK. I don't think social morals are dying out, rather, they are changing. Although I don't think that murder and theft will ever be accepted in the literal sense, people have changed their ideas about right and wrong, and to the extent of which what is right and wrong measures. An example of this could be music and piracy laws (stealing), and murdering while depressed, etc. (my thought is murder is murder, and depression should not be used as an excuse, but I was brought up in old school beliefs). You can expect a lot of things to change. In 50 years, someone else is going to be asking the exact same question.

I would say that ethics are governed by those around you. In other words a general consensus is arrived at by the cumulative agreement of many...whereas morality is decided within the hearts of each of us...we alone decide what is and isn't morally right. Others may have an opinion but ultimately the final decision on morality is our own..~

Amazing, isn't it? And yet these people would all probably consider themselves to be moral & ethical....\n\nScrew, 'em report the bastard...
