Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Wtf? We know where morality comes from. It's about acting with others as you want them to act with you. Because as social animals, if we didn't have morals, our kind would just die. I like Kant's way to define something as moral or not: Ask yourself "What if everyone did this?" and if the result is bad, you will easily understand why it's in everyone's interest to collectively prevent it instead of trying to individually cheat
Uh yeah, that was an analogy specifically referring to another situation where someone has a completely wrong idea about a topic (morality) and feels smug and self-assured when their 'target' doesn't fit within their framework. I wasn't agreeing with my hypothetical fundamentalist--you'd think me calling them a "fundamentalist" would make that kind of obvious, lol.
Another simple example would be people thinking global warming isn't a thing because it's cold somewhere.
