Would you kill the world to save yourself ?

[Patriarch]

People need to take responsibility for their own actions. How can you blame anyone for a person bad diet?

We have certain segments of the world that arent educated PERIOD. I couldn't sit back and watch someone do that. You know in our communities we have these "food deserts" .. Sometimes these unhealthy choices are all we know. The question is about you as an individual.. Could YOU engage in something you know would kill or harm another person/

as long as you have sufficient warning and know the consequences then yeah sell and promote all you want. You are starting down a very slippery slope if you want to actively regulate what people eat. With that said people should be educated on proper nutrition and then make there own choice.

So smoke crack ? As long as you know it leads to a slow painful death , go ahead ? Eventually their personal choice will affect you

I'm neither or I believe corporations should also give back to charties, but that's just me though

ok , just checking. Some people believe "maximizing profit" is the only social responsibility for a business.

so true but we have laws to regulate on people who chose to let there addictions run there life that they have to resort to stealing. If we regulate how people want to live when does it stop?

 

[Dooby]

Yeah. I would. Not even gonna try to lie.

I feel there are no repercussions after my death, even if I lived the most horrid way I'd still not reap the consequences of my actions. I don't believe in karma or afterlife.

So with that being said I feel I should live the way I want with little to no regard to those around me. Those around me excluding the ones I love but even then that can be changed too.

And this is how you should think too. Only care for the ones you truly love, damn the rest.

 

[Costanza]

talk about a loaded question.

yes i would work for a tobacco or alcohol company.

 

[stealthbomber]

i think every person who ever lived would say yes.

why kill everyone and be the last person? i'd just end up killing myself anyway....












after i smoke every gram of weed i can find

I think it should only be regulated when how they "want" to live adversely affects other people. But government aside , on an individual level I just couldn't do it. I couldn't sell crack to a person knowing what it leads to.. I understand your POV , though.

OK , lets build on this , brotha. So you have a Kantian type philosophy on this issue. Would you want your moral philosophy to be universal ? What if everyone only cared for those they loved , and disregarded the rest ? What happens when someone you dont love , encounters someone you do love ?

No but that's the beauty of being the exception. Taking advantage of those playing the moral high ground will give you a leg up using dirty or ruthless tactics.

The world wouldn't change much from how it is today imo.

Encounter in what way? If they encounter them in a negative way then they will have to face the consequences. If it's in a positive way, so be it, let them continue. I don't know if that's the answer you were looking for.

 

[Blacsmiff]

Dumbest move is to kill the world. In that case better hope that package deal came with living forever, cuz 6 billion mothafukkas be waiting for you

 

[Doobie Doo]

Having a conscience is the exact reason I could never be super rich. I ain't talking a few million cuz u can pull that without compromising your integrity but when you got Billions or half a billion like Jay-Z, Bill Gates, Mitt Romney, Mark Zuckerberg you've got to do real devious shyt to get and maintain that level of wealth.

I mean Zuckerberg & Gates literally stole the idea that got them paid and found a way to cut out the original creators of their product. Romney's company would buy other companies to drain them dry and put thousands out of work purposely. In order to make that level of money you would have to be fueled by greed cuz their is no other reason to burn that many bridges. Like Patrice O'neal said "In order to be that level of wealthy you've got be one of those motherfukkers that jacks off every time you see a natural disaster."

The primise of this question ignores degrees. Sure if all a persondid was drink pop they'd get diabetes. But what if allthey did was havea cOke or Pepsi one time because it was hot and they were at abaseball game?So you wounldnt sell them a one pop? Crak is different, its addictive. I guess suggary drinks can be addictive but in different ways. People drink alcohol they still live to be old and gray That don't mean that the bartender is profiting of demise of customer.

 

[Carter G. Hoodson]

I couldn't do it. Never take advantage of folks for self gain especially when you're trying to exploit the other party.

 

[Broke Wave]

I never understood how a person could encourage or engage in an activity they themselves found morally objectionable. How can our Arab/Muslim "brothas" sell alcohol and pork to another man , while privately believing these dietary practices lead to hell. Could you sell reverse mortgages to poor under-educated elderly folk ? Could you work as an admissions rep at a for-profit college , even if you personally felt these type of schools are misleading and predatory ?

Whats your stance on this issue ?.. Could you work in a field , or provide a service to someone , even if you felt it would lead to their eventual demise ?

I done some shyt for a cash that I cant' ever mention to my family or anyone that didn't need to know.
(Not some gay shyt or sex related at all)


Granted I ain't still on that but it's a stain on my life... the question I ask myself is whether I'm a bad person or the circumstances forced me to do bad things, and I still don't really know the answer to that.

@Reaganomics Is definitely a top poster here tho, this some serious shyt that people need to address instead of who pawging and what kind of hair weaves are hot or what not... I don't expect nikkas to be building like that on the web but yall are some bird brains.

 

[ComputersPutin]

Some people are stuck in situations and I won't judge them for their choices especially if the effect of their actions are very indirect. Plus people that are ultimately effected still have to accept personal responsibility. People have the option to buy a product or service, so I can never put the weight of responsibility on the person that provides it.

But in the past I have walked away from something that had the potential to make me a nice come up. I could no longer cosign it and didn't agree with what it promoted. (nothing illegal or crazy).

Yeah , in a negative way. I thought when you said you should be able to live the way you want with little to no regard for those around you , you meant you should be able to bring harm to others. And why dont you believe in Karma ?

The premise of this question ignores degrees. Sure if all a person did was drink pop they'd get diabetes. But what if all they did was have a coke or Pepsi one time because it was hot and they were at a baseball game?So you wouldn't sell them a one pop? Crak is different, its addictive. I guess sugary drinks can be addictive but in different ways. People drink alcohol they still live to be old and gray That don't mean that the bartender is profiting of demise of customer.

That's very in the context of the Mcdonalds example. But with Muslims handling and serving pork and alcohol , it gets a little more complex. I believe in my heart this leads to eternal damnation , but I not only sit back and watch you ruin your life , I give you the tools to do so. I wouldn't give a gun to a suicidal person. I think you either build or destroy.

I think we're all plagued with things from our past. Luckily we were able to wake up before it was too late. The best we can do is try to prevent other from heading down that path.

Some people are stuck in situations and I won't judge them for their choices especially if the effect of their actions are very indirect. Plus people that are ultimately effected still have to accept personal responsibility.

We have to remember that some people are blind. Some people know not what they do. Some say God protects fools and babies , right ? Personal responsibility is not valid in every instance. I dont know if encouraging/selling something that you dont believe in to someone else can be reconciled..

And it takes a big man to walk away when moneys in your face like that. Snoop is a prime example -- dude has no conscience. It seems like there's nothing he wouldn't do. Certain things I firmly believe in have no price , and cant be bought.

But if a person is determined to kill themselves and will kill themselves with or without your help, how culpable are you if you help them? Thy were going to dieanyway.
