Only the Outlaws...

--- Quote from: fistful on September 16, 2020, 08:55:27 PM ---Please tell me how you interpret the following quotation by the noted philosopher, fistful.
"When morality is outlawed, only outlaws will be allowed to have morals."
I texted that to a friend, and he seems to have interpreted it a bit differently (though I agree with his interpretation as well).

When the "progressives" take total control of the government, morality as we know it and understand it will become a mere footnote in the history of the United States (and probably the history of the world).

Having a burger avoids the pain of hunger and sometimes even increases pleasure. The increasing DNA part depends on with whom you are having the burger... a movie and parking at the town makeout spot can help in this respect.
And just for good measure, I repeat what I said about morality in Reply #3:
--- Quote --- As opposed to moral behavior, which varies from place to place, time to time, and person to person.

Well, the progtards made the word "truth" obsolete. "Moral" can't be far behind.

You're not wrong though.

That's how my friend took it.
What I meant was that the outlaw gangs in the streets are on their own sort of moral crusade.* Their "morals" are celebrated by most of the usual gatekeepers. They are applauded for standing up for their convictions.
Your morals, on the other hand - yeah, you're allowed to have them, if you keep them to yourself. You can live by them, if you're careful not to offend the special people.
*Well, some of them are on a moral crusade. A lot of them show up for other reasons.

My solution isn't one I'm willing to post here. Chickenshit, but the internet is forever.
