Sort of. I'd accept it, selfishly, but still feel it was wrong. No. Everyone deserves their say/rights regardless of how I feel. View Results ...this is also regardless of your opinion of "authoritarian regimes" and certain aspects that inevitably come with them, obviously, but everything else is perfect for you personally. Dissent is crushed mercilessly, but it's in a place that feels like the dictator basically had your opinions become law. Your general standard of living will also not be worse than it is now, should you accept. Lastly, any technicalities/loopholes are invalid. This is just a basic ethical question, not a quest to find the "I'm so clever for thinking outside the box but I actually missed the entire point" users. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 <cite>TheCyborgNinja posted [p:895487633] in Ethical te...

Smarkil 02/05/18 12:44:43 PM #13:	No. For a number of reasons. One, because my opinion changes from time to time and if my authoritarian government didn't change with me then I wouldn't be a happy camper. Further, it's completely unethical to force someone to adhere to my values and moral standards. Even if I'm right. --- "We're not even close" - Romans building Rome at the end of Day 1 <cite>Smarkil posted [p:895506569] in Ethical te... [t:76284693]...</cite> <quote>No. For a number of reasons.
