Flexible Morals?
Without going into specifics; why is it that we ALL seem to have.
' Flexible Morals 'at times?
Pots calling the kettles black and I'm not as twisted as he is type of stuff!
On thing is o. K but the other is awful!
We shall see who gets in to Heaven and who flies south!
TL

That's how the term "political correct" was incoporated into cultural reality.
There is a "jumping on the wagon" mentality.
-
It's called " Hypocrisy " TL.
We are all guilty of it at some point or another.
Don't take moral judgments on AP seriously.

Why is?
Because the church educated the population, their truth becomes our truth, slowly but efficiently. A personal and subjective moral core lies or ought to lie at the base of individual's moral acts. Public morality reflects social convention, and only personal, subjective morality expresses true authenticity.

TL[/QUOTE]Perhaps we are relativists. Search 'moral relativism', and maybe we can have an intelliigent discussion on the subject.
Being called the pot who calls the kettle black seems kind of accusatory.

Hi Guys,
What the fuck are all of you talking about?
Thanks,
Jackson

As best as I can figure, this thread was cranked up soon after T. L. Had posted an offer to broker a Paraguayitas virginity, followed by some questioning whether that was appropriate or not, followed by you Jackson shutting down the thread. I guess it was one way of continuing the discussion, does that sound about right?

I closed the thread regarding the auctioning a girl's virginity because I felt it was (to use the most polite word I can think of) inappropriate.
However, if anyone believes that I was wrong to do this, I suggest that they post the following poll so that they might benefit from the collective opinions of the forum membership:
Poll Question: Should this forum be used to auction off a girl's virginity?
Option 1: Yes.
Option 2: No.
Thanks,
Jackson[/blue]

The obvious answer is "no" while from my point of view TL original "Flexible Morals" it's, under what I understand, more related to the members reaction rather than the Admin's decision to close the thread.

Let me preface by saying, I do not think it appropriate to sell the virginity of a young Paraguayan girl of questionable age on AP.
But I do agree there is much hypocrisy (what I think he was referring to by the " pot calling kettle black " comment) regarding morality.
I personally find it wrong to do what TL was doing, but I also find it stomach churning every time I hear something about pregnant girls.
So I choose not to comment on either so as not to be a hypocrite.
I agree with Jackson's decision to close the thread, but I also agree the morality discussion part was quite laughable.
Regards,
BM.

For what it is worth, I heard through the monger grapevine that the "virgin auction" got some publicity on some of the local forums. To the tune of "there go those crazy gringos again".

Some parameters are not meant to be pushed.

Again imagine your subscribers online activity drove the level of traffic that allowed you to charge a higher rate to more advertisers because of this increased visibility.
Why would you risk this with something that was so controversial and had such little support for the cause? In my short time on AP it was the most controversial item I have seen.
I don't know Jackson's business model, but it would appear to me the decision to end the subject thread was a business decision and not a moral crusade.
Or I could be wrong. Suerte.

Regardless, it was the right thing to do.
