Yes the intent is good but why do people think that the word can be interpreted the way they want  to see it?

In the end, every judgement is based on our own selfishness and ego-self.\n\nIt is wrong to kill. What that means is that it is only wrong if "you" kill "me". It may not be so if "you" kill someone else beside "me".\nIt is right to help. What that means is that it is only right if "you" help "me". It may not be so if "you" help someone else beside "me".\n\nThat's why you can see why some people propound one thing and they practice something else. They propound one thing for others to follow, but they make their own selfish rules for themselves to benefit from. That's a lie not only to others but also to themselves. But then, we are all like that, whether the person reading this like it or not.

haha, i actually said this today. \n\nit just means that you may be wanting to do good, but your actions are evil. \nfor example, we went into iraq to supposedly bring them democracy, which is good right? but we killed tons of iraquis in the process, not so good. it just means that those actions ARE taken into consideration even if your intentions are good. the means do NOT justify the aims.

In many cases when people do this, it's because they feel insecure, and being "right" helps them to feel better.  You can simply let them win, assuming that whatever they're saying doesn't matter that much.  You can say something like, "That's an interesting idea."

It depends on the situation and how it's done.  Done improperly or inappropriately, it can sound like you are trying to pick an argument with someone, or can come across as having no respect for the other party.  But if it is done well, and the other person understands/knows that you are playing devil's advocate, it can really get people's thoughts rolling.  There's nothing wrong with thinking outside the box, but be careful in your approach.

Bad, people should be able to decide for themselves whether or not what they see, read and hear is art or smut.  We shouldn't target the object but instead the audience. Educate people more but don't deprive them of the choice of what they want to learn.

It's suppose to be tongue-in-cheek humour, but, yes, some people may find it quite offensive. It's a stereotypical view of some of the ethic groups.

because it's up to the reader to interperate it. different people might find different meaning in the same set of words.

It's quite possible that ppl want to interpret certain questions in a certain way (preconception). Probably, the best way to interpret a question is in a way that it can be answered. Perhaps, I'm doing exactly that by answering the question. ;-)

I don't know if there's a good study, my personal belief is that if people say it... they mean it. Like arguments, I never disregard things someone says to me in the heat of anger. Why? Because it's their true feelings on some level or they never would have come to mind.

No, and I don't agree with those who wish it were.I think free expression is necessary for growth in knowledge,and man kind as a whole.How ever...this book/movie should not be taken as fact.People need to research their bible,and their hearts before deciding what to believe.We are much too quick in trying to humanize Jesus.He was God in the flesh,not just another evangelist.

Because it is fun to get other peoples' perspectives. Some things you just can't find on google, especially the way some of these people spell.

I think you make some interesting points - words definitely have limitations for the definer and the interpretter.  Its always a rhetoric game and only real thieves hide behind definitions to justify their actions.  As for morality - this is not a truth - it is a social norm - and each society determines what is or isn't moral based on their level of consciousness.  As long as we are trapped in words - we are limiting our consciousness.

These are beautiful words, and one would hope we would all listen to them and incorporate them into our lives.  Cynically speaking, most people don't adhere to these words how valuable they are, tend to be negative, looking for the brass ring.  People struggle with enlightenment wanting to do it on their own, control the situation, and become frustrated when life doesn't turn out the way they want it.  Hope through the strength of believing in God that all things will turn out for the better is what we should strive for, however, in today's society, it is doubtful.  I would hope people would read these words and say, "I get it!".

People can say wath they want or what they want u to believe but its up to u to stop and think: "does that make sense?" "Why?"\n\nU should stick to waht u believe and let no one dictate what u can do or believe.

no, because it doesn't make sense to me... and you didn't explain why you think it's a good proverb too!\n\nif you did, i can analyze your proverb better :)

it sounds like it's only racist if you try really hard to make it be.  But I don't think most people would think it was...unless of course the context of the phrase is in a racial matter.

Excellent point, buddy.  It is often subtle and subliminal (word stucture and sentences).  Good job bringing this to the forefront.
