You make an assumptio without merit, that I don't understand. I understand perfectly, I just reject the premise.
Most folks also use the terms interchangably, and numerous sources use them as synonyms for each other, so I consider the parseing of the terms to be a distraction from the main issue.Also, most people define ethics and morals thusly: http://grammarist.com/usage/ethics-morals/. Of course you are free to use whatever definitions you see fit or continue to change terms and confuse arguments so that you're always right. I would expect no less.
Hmm, sort of like Post #236, from Captain: "Wrong. Carrying in spite of a rule is breaking a rule only. It is not inherently wrong, especially since there is no clear moral authority or imperative to make said rule." One should probably practice what they preach. That aside, when people make claims or statements that are factually incorrect "wrong" is a valid term to use.You should probably stop using the word WRONG so much as you are 100% unable to set or determine another person's morality for them, not to mention all the competing philosophies that are not WRONG but in disagreement with the rigid adherence to senseless rules that you espouse.
But I guess we shouldn't expect much from folks who agree to do something then fail to live up to that agreement....Post #236, from Captain: "Since you can't even acknowledge that you're changing your arguments (or at least couldn't before) I'm out. I'll even give you the last word since you'll pile it on regardless of what I say anyway." Yet here you are, almost 30 posts later. Pretty indicative of the issue being discussed, IMO.
