“Live and let die”
An expression
Of a view
About an unstopable event
Which is eventually happening on earth to everyone.
Is this even reasonable?
Is it impossible for something to be absurd?
What in the heck are you talking about, Dan?
depends how you look at it…
Viewing all forms of death as okay or amoral.

I love it when militarists talk bullshit about “acceptable statistical losses” when questioning the use of nuclear weapons. Stop trying to sell yourselves short… if you want nuclear armageddon, then get it over with! Maybe then the world will see peace with very little or no humanity screwing around with it…
If an asteroid were to be heading our way, are we to do nothing and go about our lives saying: “Tis the fate of mankind this is!” Oh no, humanity has to be an asshole and panic. Constant self-threats of annihilation and eternal torment are acceptable causes for the devaluation of human life on this planet.
“live and let die” is open to enterpritation
i guess all forms of death are amoral but it is the reasoning that lead to the death that can be seen as moral or imoral.
“live and let die”
hrmm…interesting topic
If death will come to us all eventually, or rather we’ll all come to death eventually, what possible moral attachment can the process have? No matter what the means, death is our physical end as living creatures.
Now is there a difference between natural and unnatural death, and is one really more natural than the other? Maybe it should be a new thread, but what exactly is “natural”? If it happens, isn’t it natural no matter how it happens? Apply this to anything, what do you think?
I personally believe that “nature” is everything, but according to the modern use of the term:
Due to large differences between “nature” and [hu]man [technology], anything man-made is “synthetic”, anything devoid of human influance – is “natural”.
When a brain-worm or a bacteria kill a man, it’s a “natural death”.
When he kills himself, it’s an “unnatural death”.
Same shit, and the disease was more painful/inhumane then a bullet.
Why do humans hate the sight of murder?
Because they don’t expect to see it.
They feel that their expectations of humanity and their trust has been betrayed, and then they have a desire for “justice”, which is actually just a desire for revenge.
So, they want revenge upon who ever did the murder, and will not feel satisfied antil the murderer is punished, because they must either let go of their expectations & morality, or they must keep on feeling the hunger for justice, [and global justice is an idealism].

Idealism is everywhere.
That’s one of the reasons why people are intolerant of evil.
Intolerance is what keeps society rid of the things most hated, as best it can.

As I’ve explained before, speceist morality is a democratic code-of-laws. The moral center-point helps the species to stay focused on the common interests and maintain the goals of the group.

@ Sagesound:
If you are upset with humanity, that’s probably because of your morality, which wanted humanity to do very well and be better then it is, and the anger is just the frustration due to an idealism.
I think you still want what you think is best for humanity.
But my understanding of your reply was imperfect, so please clear me up, thanks. 
huh, by this definition from Dan~:
humans, by nature are unnatural, and so are our deaths–they are caused by our lives
humans are upset with murder, because they feel that if they do not punish the behavior, the probability of it happening may escalate and effect them. So, it may not be altruistic, but an act of self-preservation.
Uh, humans are unnatural by nature? that is a left field comment. I am dying to hear the explanation.
All things to me seem absurd, however, I’d be hard pressed to say any one thing is more so than another.

Yeah, I think you got my comments a little mixed up there… my bad; I should have been more forthcoming. I’m not the one who’s upset with humanity. My problem is with people who are. People who would consider using nuclear weapons to extinquish life. They clearly have a moral idealism that keeps them from finding other means of solving their problems. My comment about the asteroid though was a blatant attack upon Christiandom. If we know we’re gonna die, why can’t we accept it? Again, I’m not upset with humanity, but I am aggrivated at some of the ideations it has concocted.

Kriswest:
I like this definition that Dan~ gave, and to me it seems that humans are literally man-made. This would mean that nature and men are entirely seperate, nature being natural and men being unnatural.
My question is what is natural? Are men natural creatures?
Death is inevitable, how can it be good or bad?
