What is immorality?

Tremendous fun.

It's a variety of spam: a bit like spirituality and povetry (sic) but it appears elsewhere:

Spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, immorality and spam?

Igor did this a while back, just spammed a load of questions and ignored everyone.

I think immorality and spam are quite similar. Both best enjoyed with a big slab of meat.

doing to others what you would not like done to you, and laughing about it

- "Tremendous fun."



Sorry, I can't add anything better after that!

Best with brown sauce that contains a touch of branston pickle...

Just like the roasted remains of spammers...

Is it not living forever?

I think you could be on to something there...

He seems to have unsubscribed from the previous spams - I wonder if he's going to do that again?

'Immorality' is a 'point of view' of 'another person', held by someone who believes they have some kind of 'morality highground' in comparason to the 'other person/people'.
As such, its entirely unobjective, although there are, at any given point in time, often a set of 'mututally agreed', set[s]s of 'immoral' 'things', that a group of people tend to adop as being 'immoral' at a certain given point in time..... As such things can and do vary with time, there can't be any specific objective 'immorality' to most of these things, as otherwise they'd remain more-or-less static...
Its also trenendous fun and a way of life.

They guy is a relative newbie, it's possible he doesn't understand the place yet either technically or culturally.

You are so kind Kea,

I joined in Feb 09 as well - but perhaps I just hang out here more, so my newness has worn off quicker.

I sometimes think immorality depends who you are standing next to.

I am not perhaps puritanical, but to others I may be thought of as immoral; there are morals, and then some!

"I think immorality and spam are quite similar. Both best enjoyed with a big slab of meat."

Sorry for singling this response out, Iago, but it was tear-jerkingly witty and also made me wonder whether vegetarians can eat spam. It's certainly not meat, after all.

I like my meat... err what were we talking about? spam?

I thought Iago's post was very funny too, but decided against commenting in case he'd broken the house rules
