HELLO! I WANT TO COLLECT SOME DATA.

IF YOU HAVE OPINIONS ABOUT ETHICS, PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

1] ARE THERE ACTIONS YOU CONSIDER UNACCEPTABLE REGARDLESS OF CONTEXT? IF SO, PLEASE PROVIDE EXAMPLES

2] ARE THERE SOME MITIGATING CONTEXTS THAT RENDER OTHERWISE UNACCEPTABLE ACTIONS ACCEPTABLE TO YOU? IF SO, PLEASE PROVIDE EXAMPLES

3] IF A PERSON HAS PERFORMED AN UNACCEPTABLE ACTION, WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER AN APPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT?

THANKS! 8)

1) No
2) No
3) Personally I just believe in solid revenge in whatever form I can get it in.

BUT WHAT WOULD THE REVENGE BE FOR IF YOU DON'T FEEL ANY BEHAVIOUR IN PARTICULAR IS UNACCEPTABLE?

Morality is relative. What is acceptable to one person, one world, or one culture will not be to another. And vice versa.

So let's say someone decides to come after me. Maybe they are justified in their reasoning. Maybe they're not. Maybe they think it is the right thing to do and maybe they are just lashing out. Whatever the case, I don't care. They can do what they please just like I can retaliate if I so choose to, right or wrong.

SURE! THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING WHAT DIFFERENT PEOPLE THINK. PEOPLE HAVING DIFFERENT OPINIONS IS WHAT MAKES THIS INTERESTING! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO DO FOR YOU TO WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Unless it effects me why WOULD I want to do anything about anything.

I DON'T KNOW, THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING
BUT OK THEN, WHAT WOULD SOMEONE HAVE TO DO TO YOU FOR YOU TO RETALIATE?

I suppose I mean that I just don't care. That's why I wouldn't do anything.
As for what it would take... Depends on the situation. For the most part I still don't care. If they threaten me or stand in my way?
That'd be enough.

GREAT, THANK YOU!

Aren't YOU going to answer?

NO, WHY?

Humor me. It's only a fair trade.

HUH, I GUESS I HADN'T REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT. LET'S SEE.

1] I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING THIS WOULD APPLY TO! I THINK I WOULD NEED TO KNOW THE CONTEXT.

2] NOT APPLICABLE, SEE ABOVE

3] I DON'T HAVE ANY PUNISHMENT IDEAS EITHER! I HAVE NEVER HAD TO PUNISH A PERSON AND I DON'T THINK I WOULD WANT TO

In other words, before you can reflect upon if any action is acceptable or otherwise, you would need the context?
Even if it's impossible to get FULL context?

NO, IT'S MORE JUST THAT I CAN'T THINK OF ANY SCENARIOS I WOULD CONSIDER UNACCEPTABLE REGARDLESS OF CONTEXT. PEOPLE USUALLY HAVE A REASON FOR WHAT THEY ARE DOING EVEN IF I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT! I DON'T UNDERSTAND MOST OF THE STUFF PEOPLE DO THOUGH.

[ All right that'd make two of them on the not understanding most of the stuff people do. ]

Even if it's to physically harm you?

WELL I WOULDN'T LIKE IT
BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE HURT OTHER PEOPLE BY ACCIDENT
OR THEY HAVE REASONS TO DO IT THAT MAKE SENSE TO THEM BUT NOT TO ME
LOTS OF THINGS MAKE SENSE TO OTHER PEOPLE BUT NOT TO ME HAHA!

SO I WOULD DEFEND MYSELF FOR SURE BUT I DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT PUNISHING PEOPLE OR FIGURING OUT IF IT WAS AN UNACCEPTABLE ACTION THEY DID OR NOT

If you don't care about figuring out if it was "unacceptable" or not, then what's with the little quiz?
Usually when someone collects data there is purpose in that.

OH, I GUESS I'M WONDERING HOW OTHER PEOPLE WOULD FEEL ABOUT SOME OF THE STUFF I'VE DONE! I WANT TO CONSIDER SOME OF THE PERSPECTIVES THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED HERE IN MY FUTURE ACTIONS ALSO
MOST OF THE TIME I DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING BECAUSE USUALLY THEY THINK IT'S "WEIRD" OR "CREEPY" BUT I HAVE BEEN STARTING TO FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO TRY TO BETTER UNDERSTAND OTHER PEOPLE'S THOUGHTS ON ETHICS SPECIFICALLY
MY KNOWLEDGE ON THIS SUBJECT IS PRETTY LIMITED

What are you hoping will happen once you gain more knowledge? Is there some goal, some accomplishment, to be had from doing this?
Personally I've never cared to understand the perspectives of others.
It doesn't really have any bearing on what I choose to do or not do.

THAT'S AN INTERESTING QUESTION!
I AM ALWAYS TRYING TO GAIN MORE KNOWLEDGE BUT I GUESS I AM NOT EXPECTING SOMETHING SPECIFIC WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE OF IT
IN THIS CASE I AM HOPING TO UNDERSTAND OTHER PEOPLE'S MORALITY BETTER MAYBE SO THAT I CAN AVOID UPSETTING SOME OF MY FRIENDS TOO BADLY
BUT IN MY OPINION THE PURSUIT OF LEARNING IS ITS OWN REWARD!

In other words, there is something you want to change, if you can.
It's not a purposeless pursuit of knowledge, even if you think expanding your understanding of something is its "own reward."

SURE, I GUESS! OTHERWISE I PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE ASKED ABOUT THIS
NORMALLY THIS KIND OF SUBJECT WOULD NOT INTEREST ME AS MUCH AS OTHER THINGS BUT IT'S TURNED OUT TO BE PRETTY FASCINATING, I DIDN'T REALISE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT OPINIONS

It really shouldn't be that surprising.
People who come from similar backgrounds likely share some things in common, but they have had different lives. Different people and events to influence them.
No one will have the exact same perspective on anything.

SEE, THAT WOULD BE LOGICAL
BUT A LOT OF THE TIME I FIND PEOPLE EXPECT EVERYONE ELSE TO THINK THE SAME WAY THAT THEY DO AND BECOME SURPRISED AND UPSET WHEN SOMEONE DOES NOT, WHICH WOULD SUGGEST THAT A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE MUST AGREE ON THOSE THINGS

IT'S TRUE THAT THE SAMPLE I AM DRAWING FROM HERE IS MORE DIVERSE THAN I AM USED TO, THOUGH! PERHAPS IT ISN'T SURPRISING THAT THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW WHEN EVERYBODY COMES FROM SUCH DIFFERENT WORLDS

I'd say your "sample" is likely larger as well. Where I come from, there are people from many different worlds that come into contact with one another.
Yet, somehow, they tend to share similar values.
They don't exactly take opposing views too kindly.
