Weirdo ex-candidate's daughter once watched him behead a whale with a chainsaw. Called it, "just normal day-to-day stuff." (www.mediaite.com)

That act in itself is ethically neutral.

What makes you the arbiter of what is ethical?

Why are you implying that legality has any impact on the ethics of the situation?

I'm not.

Aren't you the one that asked if it was ethical? Did you not want an answer?

Sure. Why is it "ethically neutral" to expose a child to such things on a regular basis? Again, this was supposedly a day-to-day occurrence.

You just asked me for the answer, so in this case, you! Your second sentence does imply that you are, as the "not even X, let alone Y" implies that to reach Y you must pass X.

Please answer the question: Why is it ethically neutral to intentionally expose a child (he wasn't passing by, he found out it happened and drove there with his daughter) to such things on a day-to-day basis?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Its not my onus to answer that, that's akin to trying to prove a negative. As the one making the claim, you are supposed to try to prove it. How is exposure to a whale carcass unethical?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because exposing children to traumatic things can cause psychological issues and watching someone carve up a whale with a chainsaw is pretty damn traumatic for a normal child.

Let me guess: "Prove that it's traumatic."

Nope, it's pointing out that you're moving goalposts.

You asked my why it was unethical. I told you. What goalpost did I move?
