Nice video. You explained your points very well without overcomplicating it.

Ah, v0tebot'd I see.

[PaddyCuinne]

Yeah votebots suck. thanks for watching man i appreciate it.

[HashKeth]

I don't see you explaining the relationship between determinism and responsibility.

[PaddyCuinne]

Thanks yea i agree.

[PaddyCuinne]

No i would say it causes a mix of positive and negative emotion to the people involved.  I would say the negative to the people being robbed outweighs the positive from the guy becoming richer. this would mean it is immoral.

[med1367]

Are you saying robbing others, or kidnapping others is a negative emotion?

[PaddyCuinne]

I would say that good is positive emotion. no matter what the cause and bad is negative emotion. Surely you have felt happiness without sadness before.

i feel what makes you experience bad is a matter of opinion but the feeling is negative.

[med1367]

You talk about good and bad.

What is bad? isnt it only an opinion?

I answer the above questions this way:

Bad is lack of good. Evil is the bad, who lacks the good quality!

At any time, Evil or bad, can decide to be good, through a comprehensive and standard guideline, which is guidelines sent down from Allah (God) via the prophets he selects from amongst the men.

I can say that the last prophet can bring the most complete guideline, because he is the "last" one, I refer to Islam!

[EllenRussell54]

Yeah.

Can you compare them?

I don't think so. The two are like different worlds.

In one world, mostly the West, Compassion and Mercy erode respect and power.

In the east, Compassion helps cleanse your soul of karma until finally you get to the point where you need to get rid of all karma.

Deternimism isn't the only flaw in a justice based view of morality, of the kind required to justify retributive punishment; it seems absurd that in a world as unavoidably injust as ours we could restore justice in those few crimes we find and can deal with: as most crimes are commited by people in injust social conditions or with an injustly low selection of nature's gifts so punishing them adds to injustice: the notion of desert is undeveloped: and it's difficult to know what effects desert.
