Is it right or wrong for you to legislate morality?

convince people that your morality is right ?

treat morality as a democracy of votes as this site seems to ?

cast pearls before swine, and debate morality with people whose only moral study is their own desires ?

 

wrong My values are my own. I don't need government to force beliefs on me.

wrong Law is simply systematized violence, in which personal preference has no place.

wrong morality involves far too great range of things, such as courtesy and ettiquette for me, a libertarian, to trust the government to enforce it. Let the society do it in the same way they have done for millenia---by peer pressure.

wrong already being done by all Governments

wrong 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.

wrong I could go either way on this one, depending on how/what we are talking about, but the basic unit of legislation is social contract, which is in turn based in people's morality. But it is that little separation that makes me click wrong.

wrong State should not interfer with private lives and morality

wrong own choice of every man

wrong The idea that morals can be castrated onto society through legislation is absurd.

wrong Everyone's got their own.

wrong The big moral questions are already legislated (murder, theft, ect.) What's left is stuff that doesn't work cross culturally.

right some things needs to be regulated, like child rapists and such.

wrong your morals ain't mine

wrong morals are personal, and what is right for me may not be right for you (et vice versa). Perhaps some morals, but it becomes a very slipperly slope...

wrong it uses centralized authoritative punishment to force subjective morals on others

wrong Morality is relative. The "Moral Majority" is neither moral, nor the majority. If you think it's immoral, don't do it, and leave the rest of us alone!

wrong what's wrong for you may be right for me.

wrong you would require a standard of morality to get everyone to adhere to, and there just isn't one that works without taking away personal freedom.

wrong everything is relevant and dependant on perspective

wrong conservatives have silly values and i would hate for them to affect me. Each to their own when to neither's detriment!

wrong it reduces civil liberties

wrong morality, ethics or faith are one's personal choise

wrong the only people who want to control the morals of others are the ones with very questionable morals of their own.

right morality and law should overlap.

wrong NEVER. That is the most oppressing thing you can do to another person.

wrong coersion causes harm.
