I clicked on that video (like I always do) it brings you to YouTube. Read all the top comments, saying how cruel these parents are.
The kid wasn't swimming.
It's not about swimming, it's about the fact that if you place an infant in water they will begin paddling and kicking in swimming motions regardless of any training. This is an innate reflex. Whether or not you agree this is swimming doesn't change the fact that it is called the 'swimming' reflex. This reflex is a result of our central nervous system communication and can be explained by our biology and the evolutionary advantage of such an infantile reflex.
That wasn't an infant bro. It walked to the pool for god sakes.
Catholics don't believe that. Some things it doesn't matter, if you do them you'll end up in hell. Suicide is one of those things; its supposed to be the most offensive thing to god as you are rejecting the gift of life he gave.
Satan (an angel) was kicked out for doing what he wanted.
Stealing to feed your family is still wrong, and it doesn't matter who you stole from. This is called rationalization, and you can rationalize any bad behavior to try and justify it. And there are typically legal ways to feed your family.
Billions of people before you also believed the earth was flat; they were all wrong. You need to step-up your critical thinking skills: http://logical-critical-thinking.com/logical-fallacy/appeal-to-popularity/
According to some.
Well actually not true. We talked a tiny bit on page two, or at least I did.With all the topics of philosophy, everyone's been talking about theology for 17 straight pages.
What would you like to discuss?
i am more talking about a third world survival behavior, you are arbitrarily throwing in situations where the culprit appears guilt.. you couldn't possibly think of a situation i.e. someone living in an extremely resource exhausted environment where they need to steal??? It's not "always wrong" in my opinion.
You mean this isnt basic knowledge? I always thought it was pretty clear lol.
Given I don't see an exception in the law that says stealing to feed your family is permitted, I think its safe to say society agrees its wrong. I'd like to know why people think its ok given the legal alternatives available.
So throw out a topic.
You never specified any context at all. You can't have a functioning society where people can rationalize things away when its convenient. And id wonder the same of third world people as some first; if you can't feed yourself, why are you bringing kids into the world? Of course that's the biggest problem in the third world, war lords that rationalize their behavior and keep the country poor by robbing from everyone.
While I agree with you, I just want to point out that the law isn't always morally correct. For example, interracial marriage was illegal for several decades; didn't make it right. It's easy to look with a 21st century lens and forget that in the past stealing may have been the only viable option to maintain food for your family.
This section does talk about the typical Christian view, I know the fallen angel idea is part of the roman catholic teachings http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satan#Christianity
The nuances dont really change the fact that most people will agree it is wrong. The problem is if you are stealing food or medicine you are taking it away from someone else. Theoretically you could make sure to steal food from a rich person who doesnt need it but chances are if you stole the medicine you would be keeping someone else from getting cured as well.
