| DRich Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 51 Posts: 4967 | I was just directed to this thread but I am not aware of the book being discussed. My point, when being directed here, was that there is no right or wrong. There is only personal belief. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Pretty much. That's why in society we all need to have our personal beliefs on right and wrong be the same, and make laws for those who disagree. For instance, we agree that robbing a bank is wrong and we need a law for those that think otherwise. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

the contrarian would say that you have no right to lock me up just because we disagree on whether robbing a bank is right or wrong. Just because the majority agree on something doesn't make it right. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

You need agreement of everybody for a society to work. The rules are grease for the wheels is all. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
