Uhh.. do we really want to do ethics 101 ( and likely comparative religions based on your insisting all ethical considerations are universal across the human experience )? Please reconsider your statement, because it is not 'basically'; not by a long shot.


I don't know shit about ethics numbers. Nor do I believe in any comparative religions. All I know is that you claimed to do the following:

> I try to not show exactly what I think to people at work. I just say sufficiently generic stuff to make people on both sides agree with a generic statement.

Bravo! Encore! Teach us, wise master!


I read this thread and I'm not even sure what your point is if all your comments are just going to be cryptic instead of actually stating your point clearly. As a reader, not even the person you're responding too, it's not useful to write like this.


I'm terribly sorry. I admit that it might be possible, at least in theory, to force me to emit "useful" writing! What makes you think you deserve that, though?!


Everyone who uses this forum deserves that, it's basic etiquette when speaking to other people. If one were as dismissive to you in real life, you'd probably be annoyed just the same.


That all sounds very nice. Go tell it to some decision makers.
