Have I mentioned that I've always pictured you as a bunny?
Personally, I think it would be a grand idea if young children (3+, I guess) were properly introduced to the idea if morality through carefully structured philosophy classes in the same way that they do maths and language.
This is an opinion that I have had since my first philosophy class back in the good old days... more like 2 years ago. I strongly believe that little kids should be taught how to think, not what to think like the way religion is structured.
If kids are taught why certain things are wrong, we wouldn't have had the civil rights issue in the first place.
Would you rather know what button A does rather than just being told that if you push button A you will be able to watch tv? If they explain to you that button A turns the tv on, you will be able to figure out on your own that if you push another button you will touch on some other functions that you previously did not know. However, if you were told just told that button A will make you happy, how is that a motivation to explore other buttons?
I strongly believe that religious based morals are handicaped because they don't allow much room for modifications when new situations are encountered.
Hate world.
Revenge soon!
