Questions of Morality

1. Someone spends a week working and gets his paycheck. If there were absolutely no consequences and nobody would ever know you stole it, would you? 2. Some guy is in a relationship with the girl you really like. Their relationship is a very happy one, for both of them. If you were able to, and nobody would ever knew you did it, would you ruin their relationship and take her for yourself? (In this hypothetical situation, she would go to you if her relationship with him were to end. Also, just switch those genders around if you're a girl or gay.) 3. Someone you don't know spends a week playing a game that you also play, and he gets the best weapon or armor in the game. If you had the opportunity to steal it, would you? 4. Someone spends an entire day working on a personal project, such as piecing together a large Lego set. If nobody would ever know you did it, would you destroy it just for the fun of it? 5. Someone finds something that any other person would consider unimportant, but he has taken a liking to it. For example, a pinecone. He found it and now keeps it in his room because he likes it. Would you take it and throw it away for the fun of it? ___________________________________________ All I ask is a simple yes or no, but feel free to give a more detailed answer if you would like.

  • [quote]1. Someone spends a week working and gets his paycheck. If there were absolutely no consequences and nobody would ever know you stole it, would you?[/quote] Depends on the situation. If there were no way to return the money, then yes I would keep it. I don't really care about honor or nobility, it's just that I have my own money, and chances are the person whose paycheck that is doesn't understand how to make the money I can make. I don't need a paycheck, which is probably a relatively small amount of money, in order to make money. If I don't need it to make money, and I don't need it to be successful, then there is no reason for it to exist in my life. [quote] 2. Some guy is in a relationship with the girl you really like. Their relationship is a very happy one, for both of them. If you were able to, and nobody would ever knew you did it, would you ruin their relationship and take her for yourself? (In this hypothetical situation, she would go to you if her relationship with him were to end. Also, just switch those genders around if you're a girl or gay.)[/quote] I dislike this wording. I don't lust over females, it's a useless tirade. I also don't believe in relationships that don't end in marriage. If it's sex I want, no, I wouldn't end the relationship because it'd be easier to just have her cheat on him. If it's her hand in marriage I want, then that's for the reason that that current relationship isn't going to end in marriage, therefor there is no wrong doing in courting her. [quote] 3. Someone you don't know spends a week playing a game that you also play, and he gets the best weapon or armor in the game. If you had the opportunity to steal it, would you?[/quote] I don't play video games anymore. So no. [quote] 4. Someone spends an entire day working on a personal project, such as piecing together a large Lego set. If nobody would ever know you did it, would you destroy it just for the fun of it? [/quote] Lego sets are temporary works. If I don't destroy it, the universe eventually will. That being said, due to how little Legos actually matter, I wouldn't have a problem with destroying it, but I don't think I'd exactly find it fun to do because it seems like a pointless, waste of time. [quote] 5. Someone finds something that any other person would consider unimportant, but he has taken a liking to it. For example, a pinecone. He found it and now keeps it in his room because he likes it. Would you take it and throw it away for the fun of it?[/quote] Same reaction as #4. I don't have a problem with throwing it away, but I don't foresee me actually doing it because there's no use in doing it.
