I don't know why Tombo is replying to me, I have him on ignore and have no intention of reading anything he says. (don't need to anyway, I know that all it contains are some personal insults and generalised ranting about greens being fascists or whatever) Unfortunately the ignore function doesn't block the threads he posts. Tis a pity
Actual morality is doing what is right regardless of what you're told. Religious morality is doing what you're told, regardless of if it's right.
Any chance you could actually stay on topic here?Originally Posted by Akrasia
I think that the survey does indeed show a human response to doing "good" or at least what people think are good, it is the "holier than thou" attitude of AGW Alarmists that has successfully helped a whole lot of people realise just what a con job this is. Well done lads, keep it up!
I think the issue most people have is that you bring this up like it's some fantastic revelation when most people stopped talking about it months ago.
even your friend Monbiot was on about it last year
We cannot change the world by changing our buying habits | George Monbiot | Environment | guardian.co.uk
Tombo - do you see what you have done?
the study is now proof of the evil leftist Al Gore global warming tax scam.
you're in bed with the idiots.
Nobody invited you onto this thread moron.
The way to avoud threads start by me is simply to avoid clicking "view thread".
Now stop stalking.
Your friend Monbiot of course decides to miss the salient point.
Self revealed "greens", like Monbiot and alarmingly many people involved in climate science and the IPCC, award themselves a free pass on issues of honesty and morality.
The paper refers to the "licence effect". You think you are viruous, ergo what aver you want to do or think should be done is justified by definiition.
It is all over this forum.
hehehe, indeed
100% agreed, I don't even bother debating this issue with them anymore, no point, closed minds completely.
The "holier than thou" attitude is like arguing with Jehova's, who call you a "denier" if you say that you are an atheist.
Roll on Global warming (Still not that convinced though) and I can sow my vines I have been waiting to do for two decades.
Yes - they came up with the name licencing effect. Wilde had a similar theory in "risk homeostasis"
there are lots of other interesting social psycology experiemnts such as those by Milgram.The hypothesis of risk homeostasis holds that everyone has his or her own fixed level of acceptable risk. When the level of risk in one part of the individual's life changes, there will be a corresponding rise or fall in risk elsewhere to bring the overall risk back to that individual's equilibrium. Wilde argues that the same is true of larger human systems, e.g. a population of drivers.
they are all interesting and worthy of development but for you to make the assumption that those people that purchase polluting products or those that exploit child labour etc are somehow exempt from telling lies is a bit weak even by your standards.
there are so many layers of complexity in consumption and ethical consumption this is only scratching the surface.
Haha so true. The mean green loop de loop spin and lies machine100% agreed, I don't even bother debating this issue with them anymore, no point, closed minds completely.
