UFie Ethics 101 by Naruki2006-11-19 12:55:59
  ya by DennisMV2003-06-02 09:23:29
    Lying is unethical, period! (n/t) by Slamlander2003-06-02 12:03:19
      I would have to disagree by Egaeus2003-06-02 13:51:55
        I agree with Slamlander, mostly. by Naruki 2003-06-02 14:19:52
HOWEVER, there is a degree or value, depending on context. Just as killing another human being is not _always_ illegal, lying is not _always_ the wrong ethical choice. It _is_ unethical, but if the other choice is worse ethically, you have to go with the lesser evil.

          I typically don't lie by Egaeus2003-06-02 14:31:15
            But the act of lying itself IS still unethical. by Naruki2003-06-02 15:11:40

                    After Kickstart starts it off? by Naruki2003-06-02 20:03:30
                      It's a fundamental disagreement by Route2003-06-02 20:36:47
                        I'm with Naruki here, how can it be goal-based? by Slamlander2003-06-02 21:24:37
