"Anything is fine as long as your intentions are right" Options

[Call911Quick]

Opinions? If someone does something and messes up horribly and generally makes everyone else uncomfortable one way or another, but his or her "intentions" were right, do you think that's ok?

For example, I want to help clean the dishes. However, I slip, and knock down 3 or 4 dishes, and they shatter as they hit the floor. All I wanted to do was help!

What about cock blockers eh? You tell your bud about this girl you like, and they try to talk to her about you. Somehow, she's not a complete idiot, and catches the drift, and looks at you awkward. All your friend wanted to do was help!

Oh there are so many more examples of this. Would you guys forgive people if their intentions were right? Or... yeah.

uhhh yeah? why wouldn't someone forgive another for accidentally dropping dishes?

i don't know, are u wanting us to apply this to something that really matters or just little petty things like the examples?

I'm not trying to prove anything, just simply trying to stimulate discussion.

They're talking about Dexter. They're talking about capital punishment, mob lynching, and Dirty Harry cops. Essentially, they are arguing that taking a human life is wrong even if you imagine it is in the benefit of society, etc. etc.

A vigilante might kill in the name of justice, but does that make it inherently right?

This discussion is hard for me because I'm an amoralist. I don't believe in an objective morality. I believe than men base their ethical attitudes on emotional sentiment and taste. What we do not like, we call bad. What we empathize with and or like we call good. I propose that nothing is truly right or wrong; only our imaginations allows for such propositions.
