Re: Why not North Korea?
I understand what you are saying. Reprehensible acts would, and should, be consider immoral. However, you cannot define what is moral. You can only speak of morality from your limited means.
The greatest philosophers in history have still not been able to define what is morality, virtue, justice, because it is one of those unanswerable questions. There are just too many idealism's, religions, cultural views to give a common definition. It is one of those things that are so internalized in the individual, that you simply cannot pluck it from each and get a commonality.
That is why it burns me when someone comes on these forums saying that they are moral, and we are immoral. Quite rude and insulting.
I've got a good one for you too, based on your post.
Is war innate in man?
But that is so off topic, and should be reserved I think for a different forum. It's a good one though.
