Question: Is it okay to burn people you don't like!?
seriously, this is really confusing to me from a moral standpoint!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It's had to believe you would want to set them on fire!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it is not okay to do this for the following reasons!.
Kant would say no according to his first maxim of the categorical imperative, which states, Only do that which you could make universal maxim!. And you cold not, if everyone burnt everyone they did not like than people you did like and yourself would be burned for seemingly no reason, this would almost instantaneously lead to absolute chaos!.also Kant sees all life as being equally worthwhile, and thus you are in no position to hurt someone equal to you!.

Utilitarians would say no, because there are likely repercussions that you would find unpleasant that would happen to you and thus consequentially it would not be worth your while!. And therefore immoral!.

W!.D!. Ross would say it is not ok because it does not fit within the guidelines of a few of the prima facie duties, for instance it inflicting pain on someone is against the law and would thus violate the duty of malfeasance, it would not lead to self betterment, and so that duty is violaed, and it goes on to violate approximately all of the prima facie dties!.

aND THERE IS ALWAYS COMMON SENSE!. For instance you are judging someone usually when you do not like them, often you do not lke them for their flaws or things they do that you don't like!. As you are probably equally guilty of these infractions as anyone you do not like, (which is if there is anyone that does not like you) than you are in no place to burn anyone!. also you have given no scale to show the extent to which you dislike people, thus your questions answer is a huge NO!.maybe you should get some help, if you cannot discern whether or not it is ok to physically harm people based on whether or not you like them you are either very ignorant, or a sociopath and require immense amounts of therapy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Morals belong to that who makes them!.

You create your own morals!. If you think it is okay, than by you, it is okay!.

no!. you never know when you'll need them!.

social humiliation is very popular!. most idiots will eventually do this to themselves, so you need do nothing here!.
It is the people who hold others opinions highly are most likely to drop it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

as a law, burning at the stake is no longer practiced for criminals or heretics!. but some crimes to this date really do deserve burning!. I tend to agree with you on that aspect!. otherwise, burning is plain cruel although could be effective!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You should be questioning, what gives morals their foundation, and their actuality, instead of such a morbid and disgraceful question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
