Really? Then they should be punished. However, not on moral grounds. On legal grounds.

True, but morals do not dictate laws. There's also financial and social things to look after, such as worrying if such-and-such will be a run-away freight train and lead to X, Y, and Z problems.
Just because something was built on it, does not mean it should be a Dictatorship of Morality.

So I assume you watched the vid. Do you not find it morally wrong to treat a living thing like that? Not just a living thing, but a sentient one. I'm no treehugger, hippie, or anything of the sort. But I do respect life as a whole, and find how they treat those dolphins in the video to be morally reprehensible.

Er... I did not watch the vid. I can't really stand many gruesome photos.
You're asking me this? Me? Of course I respect Life, but I also respect the fact that Morals aren't Facts, they are opinions.

Yes, I was asking you. But not if you respect life--that would be an accusation. Just if you found it morally wrong what they did in the video.

I find many things morally wrong, being a Moderate Right-winger. That's obvious. But I also know that others probably don't agree with me, and I respect their opinion.

But I also find it morally wrong to impose my morals on others. Hence, the mentality that others will always do "immoral" acts (immoral according to me), and I shouldn't spend my time worrying about it. Is that a defeatist attitude, a realistic attitude, or an immoral one?

I don't want an argument. I don't want hassles, and such, I will leave that portion of the argument at that.

Did you know that, on his deathbed, Napoleon told his wife that he had lived a life far superior to many in terms of riches, and even then, out of everyone on the planet, he could only trust his wife (and little did he know his wife was cheating on him)!

Oh, snap! He got pwnd! Still, good general. And Erwin Rommel pwnd too, though he was never a leader. And don't get me started on Prussia. *drools* In Soviet Prussia, government runs you!

I feel sorry for anyone who swims in that area later, when the sharks come in.
It may seem a little pointless post, but I don't care about it, inhumane acts aren't any less common in the west as they are in Japan.
