Would you enforce your morality on others as law , if you could?

Hypothetically speaking , of course. If you could make the laws, would you try to enforce you moral standings on people living in your city or country. What laws would you make and how would you enforce them?

I already do and everyone in my game of Civ V hates me.

nope.

who am i to force my opinions on people.

Absolutely not. I'd love to force people to willingly adopt my morals, but I'm pretty sure that's impossible.

I'd like to say no, but if I actually had that power I probably would.

Current juris prudence is greatly influenced by morality. Although it isn't perfect, it does provide for norms and baselines. Would I enforce my own sense of morality? No, not entirely, but I would hope, however, that some concepts, such as murder and theft would be a shared interests across the board.

No, I could never force my own morality on others even if I think my own morality is right or better than anyone elses's.

The only time I would force my own morality on others is if not doing so would lead to some kind of severe societal problem.

Depending on the severity and type of thing committed, yes, but I would not do it if I were the sole arbiter.

Seeing as I'm socially libertarian, a lot more things would be legal. :Pchessmaster1989

So blackjack and hookers?

Laws are based on morality, so that question is kinda weird.

No. My ideas aren't right for everyone.

However, I also do not swear or curse because I do not see how it could have a positive consequence. mindstorm

Cursing is great natural pain relief.

And now you know.

I thought that this was common knowledge.

That is basically what all laws are anyway, institutionalized morality.

I dont think so. I would never enforce any religous views or things like that. But then again, I dont really have those. Most of my "morality" seems to jibe with the current laws - dont kill, dont steal, etc. But if I believed in something that wast not widely held by others, I would not make it law. You shouldn't push your beliefs on others. Your beliefs are about what YOU should do, not what others should do.

I am kind of world police-y when it comes to that. When I see things in other cultures like the mistreatment of women, or gay people, I totally want to intervene and help them. Even if it's not my culture.

Well considering one of my morals is keep your f*cking nose out of sh*t that doesn't concern you, no. XilePrincess

So if you see someone in need on the street, you ignore them? I see huge flaws in this moral standing of yours.

This is fantastic. What a genuine response

Yes.

I'd try to.

The ones who wouldn't comply would be thrown away.

only in certain cases.

In a certain way all law involves the forcing of some views on others.

No. I mind my own business and they should mind theirs.

Law generally is that, I think, but I would only apply mine selectively.
