You know stagger, people should be careful banding words like “morals” about.Originally Posted by Stagger
It’s a dangerous game. Few can afford rocks in glass houses.
Because the less charitable of us might notice that the reason we are paying a lecturer a full salary to sit home or play golf is because of the “principle “ that narrow corridors full of hundreds of people ( at work) is a covid risk. That’s why all these students education is being wrecked remember?
But When the very same person is planning to go in even narrower corridors with even more people, on an airline says it’s ok in that case because it is going on holiday to Turkey not work. A voluntary act. So not a principle then. Indeed put like that sounds very immoral! Different morals for work and leisure.
All Cummings did was what he thought would best protect his family, when he got covid whilst working for all of us. For that you say he deserves to burn?
Not personal mate, just be careful, Few would survive such wrath that Cummings must endure. And the protesters you see with placards In the media scrum are clearly breaking lockdown.
There’s an old lady across the road.
She’s distraught: her husband of 50 years, from whom she has never been apart had a fall, was hospitalised, got corona and now his life is on a knife edge, she cannot even see him. She herself had a serious stroke two years ago. She is in a very bad way.
I’ve seen a couple of sets of relatives come and go, who have travelled a long way to see her ( I know, she told me where they live) to help her through it. Sometimes a group are there together.
Would you piss on them or not?
Do your high sounding morals have no compassion?
Or are moral tests only for people you don’t like?
Stagger , you ate a good bloke, but arguments about morality never end well.
Could you cope with the attack that twists all you do in the worst possible light?
Few of us could.
