So, I'm here at work, thinking about the big questions in life. And I wonder: how does one decide on a set of morals and ethics? I believe that a large part of it is conditioned in through media, childrens books, parents and society in general, but I also believe that one has free will and are able to make decitions at least a little bit by oneself.
So my question(s) to you is: do you believe in right and wrong? what are your views on moral and ethics and how did you decide on them?

Crap indeed, men klart jeg svarer :P
I don't believe that the same set of morals works on everyone, or in every situations. Whenever themes like that comes up, I end up ranting about the same old utilitarian crap. I blankly refuse to look at any action as wrong if it doesn't hurt anyone.

So, where does you view that something is not wrong if it hurts noone come from? How did you end up with that set of beliefs?

Like Americans! I'm afraid of Americans! Did you read yesterday's article in Klassekampen on American prison tactics? They locked a man up for 3 1/2 years without acutually charging him with anything! He was locked in a small cell without lighting, and whenever he was supposed to go anywhere he was chained hand and foot, forced to wear large black blindfolds that effectively denied him sight, and large head phones robbing him of his hearing. Can you imagine not being able to hear or see or touch anyone for over 3 years? The man went insane, and the only reason we're hearing of it is because the people working in the prison were stupid enough to shoot a film of him being taken to the dentist (blindfolded, headphoned, chained and without information of where they were going or why!). And he wasn't the only one. And he was an American citizen. And even the supreme court ruling against this sort of thing has only led to minimal changes and nothing more than reprimandes on the smallfish involved with this. SO scared and disgusted! What can one do against a country that I feel is slowly going bad?

And wow, - can that actually be true? I'm getting afraider of americans every day. But as long as they are the supreme rulers of the world, what can one do?

Jobbkompis audun snakka om at lullaby var den eneste the cure sangen han likte, og siden jeg synes den er kjip (og vi begge hadde hørt på den i løpet av dagen) så vi først på den videoen og så på den til wrong number som han ikke kan fordra. Oh well. Oh well. Homsepoppargumentet står ved lag, og lullaby er en kjedelig sang, men det er ikke wrong number. Jeg vant ikke, men jeg kan late som.
