@Cimbolic - His action? Posting videos? DId he say in his videos "I want you to go to Cimbolic's videos and post really mean spiteful prejudiced comments!"? If he did not, then he has no right to admonish people for expressing their own freedoms simply because they coincidently agree with him. It would be different if he commanded his subscribers to go out and spread hate and bigotry, but he never did. Free will is still free, and it seems your own hate is showing.

@ixamraxi

His action set in motiion the action of others. To the extent that he can call them back from immoral action and does not, he is culpable.

[ixamraxi]

@Cimbolic - Moral Responsibility?? So your attempting to say that inaction is culpable? Can I say that your inaction in freeing Tibet makes you morally responsible for China's occupation? Do you thus hate Tibetans? Seriously, there is no moral responsibility to manipulate other people into doing what YOU consider the right thing. Morality cannot be policed, to do so is immoral. Hate is not thought, but policing hate is a passive aggressive form of hate. Irony much?

@ixamraxi

If you know they are prejudiced and hateful and you focus their attention on what you know will become a target of that hate and prejudice, it is your moral responsibility to discourage their expression of hate.

Hate is NOT thought.

@Cimbolic i didnt realize that when people choose to subscribe to you that you unwittingly inherit some form of parental responsibility to police them and ensure that they do not express their own views, especially if they can be attributed to you simply because they subscribed to you... O.o

Implying that all of his subscribers are children that need to be monitored works to your detriment, as it makes you look like the one making assumptions while claiming righteousness.

[SirGoldComment]

I missed your point... virtues... plato bla bla bla.... i studied philosphy... yada yada...

@Censeo A truer word has never been spoken.
