Dynamite S.	July 23, 2006 7:14 PM So.... You're saying I'm not already? Ethics The branch of philosophy that defines what is good for the individual and for society and establishes the nature of obligations, or duties, that people owe themselves and one another. The word ethics is derived from the Greek word ethos, which means "character," and from the Latin word mores, which means "customs." In modern society, it defines how individuals, business professionals, and corporations choose to interact with one another. Aristotle was one of the first great philosophers to study the subject. To him, ethics was more than a moral, religious, or legal concept. He believed that the most important element in ethical behavior is knowledge that actions are accomplished for the betterment of the common good. He asked whether actions performed by an individual or group are good both for that individual or a group and for society. To determine what is ethically good for the individual and for society, Aristotle said, it is necessary to possess three virtues of practical wisdom: temperance, courage, and justice. Progressivism is a political philosophy whose adherents promote public policies that they believe would lead to positive social change. As a broad characterization of political leanings, political progressivism mostly refers to social liberalism, social democracy, or green politics. Progressivism may also mean preferring moderate change, as opposed to minimal or maximum change. In this sense, it is contrasted with reactionary, conservative, as well as radical ideology. Progressive logic is the value logic that gives an underlying unity to this diversity of views. And I thought I was here to help the rest of you guys [ send green star] [ accepted]
James C.	Perhaps you are... July 23, 2006 7:54 PM I didn't mean to imply anything negative. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Dynamite S.	July 23, 2006 8:00 PM I hoped you weren't that's why I grinned at the end [ send green star] [ accepted]
James C.	Subtle July 23, 2006 8:18 PM So - you put the "b" in subtle? I think I added you to my friends list (if you approve). If not, go be ethical and progessive someplace else. Oooh, was that too mean? Nah. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Dynamite S.	July 23, 2006 8:28 PM I could take that ("b" in subtle) to mean a few things I accepted. Make me! [ send green star] [ accepted]
James C.	Make you what? July 23, 2006 8:38 PM Subtle? [ send green star] [ accepted]
Dynamite S.	July 23, 2006 8:43 PM Make me..."go be ethical and progessive someplace else." Subtle? [ send green star] [ accepted]

James C.	He'll be back. July 23, 2006 9:02 PM This should be said with an Arnold Swarzenegger accent "He'll be back." [ send green star] [ accepted]
anonymous	August 16, 2006 12:56 AM I'm here, too. I see a lot of interesting topics here., and real friends! I'm not supposed to be using the computer for personal reasons for another 10 minutes, so........shhhhhh!! Can we 'please and thank you' make this a Welcome thread and red pin it? It would make it easier for people to have a designated place to jump in. I've been here less than 3 minutes and already beginning to make suggestions. What chutzpa! Oh, where are my manners? Thanks for inviting me, FD. I've lost 10 off my 'friends list beause I disobeyed a direct order, (joined a certain group) and dropped from several groups for the same reason. I was beginning to develop a complex. I do have one good quality. My nose doesn't grow everytime I make a statement. Am I crossing a line, here? If I am I will cease and desist......sorta.

Narty M.	Hi Alyssa... August 16, 2006 1:01 AM ...there's one thing I noticed early on in this thread. Be careful if you send FD a green star. [ send green star]
Freediver O.	August 16, 2006 1:02 AM Just don't mention any names or identify the person some other way. That way, lots of people will think you are talking about them. [ send green star]
Narty M.	August 16, 2006 1:39 AM I didn't even send you a star FD and i got invited here. Green Tax Shift [ send green star]
Freediver O.	August 16, 2006 1:41 AM Think of it as an early birthday present. Or a late one, depending on when your birthday is. [ send green star]
Narty M.	You're too kind. August 16, 2006 1:42 AM [ send green star]
anonymous	August 16, 2006 1:50 AM Thanks, Marty. I've already learned my lesson on sending him stars. I keep doing it, anyway. I finally found a group that may hold my interest. Nothing personal, FD. Some just bore me. Every one has different interests. I'll still send you stars. BTW I refrained from mentioning names for a different reason,but I like yours better.

Freediver O.	August 28, 2006 5:07 PM Someone asked me to pin it. Apparently we need a welcome thread. As if my presence isn't welcoming enough. [ send green star]
Uno D.	How could it not be ... August 28, 2006 5:56 PM With that jumbo dead fish in your arms and all ... [ send green star] [ accepted]
Sarvo P.	October 17, 2006 7:13 PM *Hey thanks for the invitation Freediver. Is it ethical that Cheryl got the heave ho?* [ send green star] [ accepted]
Freediver O.	October 17, 2006 7:15 PM I don't believe that she did. You can close your profile and it is indistuinguishable from when the admin closes it. I don't see any reason why they would have banned her, unless she was up to something we didn't know about. [ send green star]
Pete O.	Hi naughties April 06, 2007 12:11 AM My stupid effort at a clever intro If no-one hates you - interact more [ send green star] [ accepted]
