Does anybody else like to debate?

Yup.

It depends on the topic.

I love to debate! I spent 20 minutes debating whether water is wet or not.

I do! If someone gets me started on a topic, I can rant for hours and hours on end about it.

My English class and I spent like 45 minutes debating the importance of rules. And @Celestial-B, SAME!!!!!!!!!! Anybody up for a little debating???????

Sure! Topic?

Ummm…………… the difference between right and wrong?????

They're exact opposites, of course! Abstracts on opposite sides of the field!

But sometimes the difference is blurred. Mixed together.

That's also exactly true, I'd say really, it depends, there are too many variables.

It also depends on a person's views of right and wrong. Biblical views of right and wrong are the true and straightforward views, because they come from God. Therefore we should follow them.

It all depends on your upbringing!

I guess it does. But it also depends on your influences. Bad influence= Wrong. Good influence=Right.

Yup.

Right and wrong are abstract concepts. Every villain thinks they’re right, and every hero fears they’re wrong.

@lyandie Perfect!

And psycopaths have no knowledge of right or wrong. Mic drop

Some of them do! They just simply don't care!

Well that may be true. Right and wrong are different. Abstract. On different sides. But most times people believe that right and wrong don't matter. Many people believe that all paths lead to Heaven. They don't.

in my opinion, while we use them to justify our actions, they don't really exist. how can we truly know who really is right or wrong, good or bad? it's all based on your perspective. I could be completely wrong, but I could also be right. I could be both and neither. at the same time. think about it.

I'm just going to say, think about Disney's Hunchback of Notre-Dame. The bad guy is an example of perspective.

true, but where was his mindset? it wasnt right to everyone else, it wasn't wrong to him.

He thought he was doing what his lord wanted.

and what did the Hunchback think?
