The impression you’re giving me is that your moral compass doesn’t really point North, so you’re a little confused as to what is ethical and and moral. so here’s a little reminder on what I believe is and is not ethical behavior. Outsourcing: NOT ethical Abortion: somewhat ethical Embezzlement: NOT ethical Gay marriage: VERY ethical Lying: NOT ethical ---

At least partly a reference to the argument he/she is having with **xtisme** in [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=613398) thread i think. As for outsourcing I fail to see why it is either inherently ethical or unethical for that matter. ---

This coming from the guy who wants a terrifically bloody war in China to solve the outsourcing problem? Yeah, I’ll trust your moral compass. ---

\*\*xtisme \*\*was more on the money there, **humanafterall** you don’t have a clue there, I already have seen huge threads from guys that also claim that they “did the math”, they indeed ignore the real cost of the solutions that they propose. ---

> [@CitizenPained](#): > > how could abortion be ‘somewhat ethical’? > [@BrainGlutton](#): > > How could it be anything else? “Completely ethical” comes to mind. Or completely _un_ethical, if we are speaking of forced abortions (with the possible exception of the Spawn of Yog Sothoth). ---

> [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > “Completely ethical” comes to mind. Or completely _un_ethical, if we are speaking of forced abortions (with the possible exception of the Spawn of Yog Sothoth). Let’s say that popular opinion (in America, at least) pegs abortion at “somewhat ethical” (or at least that’s where the moral-compass needle more or less comes to rest and quivers). Most people want the clinics to be there in case their teenagers get in trouble but that doesn’t meant they’re at all comfortable with the whole thing. ---

Dipshit: > [@Why I as an American support revolt in China](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-i-as-an-american-support-revolt-in-china/586353/1): > > **Why I as an American support revolt in China** > > We have a lot of companies who have sent our manufacturing and production jobs overseas to China, because they are happy to work for pennies a day, while the Corporate execs rake in big paychecks and and expand the divide between rich and poor. Corporate execs’ pay has gone up 400% since 1970 (Source: MSNBC). If a large-scale war broke out that consumed all of China, it would suddenly become too costly and dangerous to not ship our jobs back to the US, where they belong. There’s a lot of jobs in China, and there’s a lot of unemployed people here. Do the math. You want a “large scale war”, but that doesn’t count as “any wish for bloodshed”? Fuckwit. And aren’t you a sock of that Le Jackmeoff guy that is pretty much a one trick pony on outsourcing? Go play somewhere else. ---

I don’t trust anyone who has absolute faith in the bearings of their moral compass. **xtisme** is not my BFF, but he sure makes more sense than the OP. ---
