It's a scientific debate. An area in which Brother Sagan, and the other evangelists of I-Know-Everything-ism are woefully, pathetically, lacking.

If you ever get your PE license, you'll have to pass the Ethics Exam. Ethics for engineers are pretty mechanical, not a lot of room for interpretation.

p.s. I get to quote that a lot.

You lost. You can't debate this without insulting people or trying to make it into a religious argument. There should be an informal fallacy named after this. Reduction to religion or something like that.

As I often remind you, other people read this. Do you really think declaring victory fools anyone? You got handled. I tell you when you kick ass. I told you a couple times in the last month, so believe me when I suggest you walk away.

If the other side can't even be bothered to debate, then yeah, I'd say we won this one.

Ethics for engineers are different than ethics for attorneys are different than ethics for teachers are different than ethics for doctors are different than .........

Ethics, what should and should not be done in a given profession, change depending on the profession. People who like to justify an act based on ethics are using their fluidity as a shield for what would be considered immoral regardless of profession.

Example,

1. Citizen is in court for a crime. Prosecutor is not aware of evidence against citizen. Attorney is aware. Attorney has no ethical obligation to divulge incriminating evidence to prosecutor or judge.

Morally, concealing information with the intent to deceive is the same as providing false information with the intent to deceive.

Morally wrong, but not ethically wrong.

2. Citizen is in a breakfast nutrition study, but is unaware that the food is laced with radiation, because the study is actually intended to test the effects of radiation. Researchers do have an ethical obligation to provide this information to test subject, but decline to do so.

Morally wrong, and ethically wrong.

As a matter-a-fact, you're correct: my engineer ethics exam was nothing like my law license ethics exam which had nothing in common with my accounting license ethics exam which was totally different from my medical ethics exam. You might call me an expert on professional ethics.

p.s. I don't have any morals, I'm not religious. You can die, I don't give a shit.

Lies. Bigly lies. When I said Congress is filled with 3rd graders, I meant all of them. ALL of them. Not just the red team, not just the blue team. ALL OF THEM.

The hacks think everyone has a nose up someone's ass.

Kath has indeed made her position clear. Any other interpretation is a Strawman.

Read what I said. You can stop lying we all know the game. When democrats are solely responsible for the bad behavior you don't call them children you defend the behavior "if an idea can't get over 60% it's not a good idea." but you didn't utter that bullshit the first time around. Nope, mommy Kath only call us all children when republicans act like democrats.
