Not Quite The UF Philosophy Corner by MatthewDBA2009-04-16 10:54:41
  I disagree. by Peace_man2009-04-16 11:58:41
    Macchiavelli overstates the point. by kelli2172009-04-16 12:19:35
      Maybe this comes down to what the purpose of by Peace_man 2009-04-16 12:52:31
laws is. Is it to keep evil under control, or is it to enable good?

Laws must deal with both good and evil - but what is the purpose of laws? They must assume that all people can be (or act) either good or bad. But that leaves a lot of leeway.

        With regards to good and evil, I would contend by merlin2009-04-16 12:55:06
          That's pretty general though. by Peace_man2009-04-16 13:04:33
            I disagree. by RetiQlum22009-04-16 13:12:30
              Wait: I forgot the main point! by RetiQlum22009-04-16 13:15:31
                And you are refuting my point with this by Peace_man2009-04-16 13:20:59
                  Huh? Of course they aren't perfect. by RetiQlum22009-04-16 13:29:22
                    If that's so, can you please explain how giving by Peace_man2009-04-16 13:51:36
        I'd say by MatthewDBA2009-04-16 13:01:13
          I'm not sure what you mean by 'enabling themselves by Peace_man2009-04-16 13:08:17
        Good doesn't need to be enabled. by subbywan2009-04-16 13:34:10
          Good does need to be enabled. by Peace_man2009-04-16 13:37:16
            Why does good need to be enabled? by subbywan2009-04-16 13:55:04
              As you just said yourself: by Peace_man2009-04-16 14:12:58
                Um, leaving it alone doesn't enable it. by subbywan2009-04-16 14:15:46
                  What makes you think this is not so? by Peace_man2009-04-16 14:26:32
                    That isn't what was said previously though by subbywan2009-04-16 14:28:41
                      Hmm - how about this logic statement? by Peace_man2009-04-16 14:37:25
                        No. Because good would exist even with evil by subbywan2009-04-16 14:46:59
                          How does that constitute a 'no'? by Peace_man2009-04-16 14:50:35
                            Because good is there, regardless of laws by subbywan2009-04-16 14:55:22
                              I disagree. by Peace_man2009-04-16 15:02:10
                                Yes, it is. by subbywan2009-04-16 15:09:13
                                Protect and safeguard what? by Peace_man2009-04-16 15:13:32
                                Whatever it is you decide to protect and safeguard by subbywan2009-04-16 15:15:14
                                And we're back to the beginning. by Peace_man2009-04-16 15:23:44
                                No. Merely explored some of its nuances. by subbywan2009-04-16 15:28:37
                                I agree with that. Well, mostly :-) by Peace_man2009-04-16 15:38:09
