don't watch violent movies
it's like listening to bad music with curse words: pointless and subliminally enforcing you to cause harm.
lump the whole spectrum of human possibility into two choices
simplifying is a good way to answer questions as long as important details aren't being left out.
Believe in something you have no evidence of
although it's not the best idea, freedom of belief is a part of being human.
prefer loneliness to the company of others
as the question states, it's a preference. While it's good to be social occasionally, some people prefer one over the other.
don't cheat on a test
tests are used to see how much you know or how well you prepared, so testing is the equivalent of saying you know more than you do and thus more will be expected of you.
don't declaw your cat
they need their claws for balance, grip, and possible self-defense, so there must be a REALLY good reason to do so.
don't waste time with these "moral" delimas
if you're "wasting" time, then yes, but if you're striving after answering important questions, then it's definately worth time.
don't post Spanish questions on a site with an American domain
the point of saying it's an American website is that it is by Americans, for Americans, and intended to be spoke in English.
drink your own urine
it's not immoral, in some cases it might be necessary to survive in circumstances, after all, most of it is water.
drink out of the same container as a stranger
it's not immoral, it's just not a good idea if you're the least bit concerned about your health.
don't masterbate
despite being a hypocrite about it, sex is about sharing your love, and masturbation is only about taking from it for your own pleasure.
Have sex every day?
as long as it's with your spouse and they're okay with it too since sex is supposed to be about pleasing your partner.
ask people if things are right or wrong
how is it wrong to ask of others' opinions?
don't edit Wikipedia to put up some wrong info for fun
having fun at the expense of others, no matter how enjoyable, is wrong.
be a preacher or priest even though you know you have major moral faults as long as you are trying to do good
even though being a priest is not just about 'trying to do good', anyone who dares to take up the calling won't be perfect, so it shouldn't matter to what degree you're imperfect as long as you're aware of and trying to fix said faults.
don't write tickets to speeders all day long and then speed in your patrol car because you know you won't get a ticket because of your badge
hypocrisy is a path to corruption.
don't base your moral judgements entirely within a middle-class postmodern young adult Western socio-historical context
morality should be correct in any situation, culture, time, or any other variable. Although your morals may stem from your environment and genetics, they should maintain their truth in any other environment to be considered correct.
write a dynamic, database-driven web site with the intention of getting your own moral values out there
it is a form of secular evangelization as in a way of displaying and defending what you believe to be correct as well as a way to hear others' contradicting opinions in a social but controlled environment.
don't base your furthur moral judgments solely on the answers you got on this site for your questions
personal morals should be based on whether or not you deem the answer to be right, no matter where the answer comes from, as long as it can be proven to be correct.
don't spam Moralize.us with things that aren't moral questions
it takes away from the real point of the site and distracts those attempting to solve such moral dilemnas.
take sides in a moral issue
the point of believing something (especially moral values) is in taking up and defending that side because, to the believer, it is right.
use psychiatric drugs
as much as I am for using natural methods which will help better in the long run, the point of discovering medicine is to invent aids to facilitate such help.
put your child on psychiatric medications
unless it says specifically not for kids, then what makes it so wrong compared to if adults use them?
spank your child
as long as it's not excessive and only used to correct their behavior.
turn in your child/spouse/parent for a crime they committed
as their friend/spouse/parent, it is your duty that they be punished until they realize what they've done is wrong and change their ways
don't Hire expensive lawyers to get away with the crime
if you've committed a crime in the first place, you shouldn't be trying to get away from your due punishment which will inevitably find you anyways.
don't force others to share
although it is everyone's duty to share anything of potential value or aid, it is nobody's right to force them to do so, only to convince them to.
don't force your morals on others
they have the right to believe what they want to believe, you can persuade them and convince them your morals are correct, but it is both immoral and impossible to force someone to believe something they don't intend to.
don't spread democracy through the use of military force
there must remain other parts of the world that have the right to believe in a system other than democracy.
don't treat morality as a democracy of votes as this site seems to
the definition of morality means it is unmoved by who does or doesn't oblige by it.
convince people that your morality is right
the point of having beliefs is believing you're right and convincing others to share in being right, but only if you've sensibly considered their moraltiy and still consider yours right
don't legislate morality
morality doesn't vary by how many people believe or don't believe in it, if something's right it doesn't matter who does or doesn't take it up.
don't brush your teeth with the water running
it's a discreet way of being selfish unless you don't realize others need that water, then it's just being ignorant which should be just as wrong
try to help others when they don't ask
it's right when they don't ask, but it's wrong when they specifically say don't since they might know something you don't.
don't have sex with a different woman than your girlfriend when she is away
having premarital sex is wrong to begin with, and then being unfaithful to them is just making it worse.
don't break up with your pregnant girlfriend
she shouldn't be pregnant in the first place, and the least one could do is see through that they get cared for while their carrying your child.
don't let latins come to america?
not forcing them to learn English takes away from our nationality as stores add other languages and allow jobs to be taken by those willing to work for little without being fluent in English.
don't think too much
not because it's immoral, but because life is supposed to be a balance between reasoning and emotion, so trying to focus only on one isn't helping you enjoy life.
disobey unjust laws
if the laws are completely immoral, then yes. But if it's just something that makes life harder for you but has no issue with morality, then it's wrong.
don't try and convince others to change their lifestyles and even pass laws forcing them to change their lifestyles because of your belief in global warming when you don't have a small carbon footprint yourself
hypocrisy is like saying, 'I don't believe in it, but you should' along with the fact that being human means having the freedom to have your own beliefs.
flip a switch that will cause an out of control train to change tracks and kill one person if it means saving five people
assuming it's innevitable lives will be taken, then taking the least (no matter who those lives are) is the best available solution.
don't kill a person for money
killing for anything is always wrong.
