I think he means:
- "A thing happens, this is what it means."
- "But wait a second, it could also mean this."
- "Woah... that's deep man."
- "I know. Buy me books mate"

Ah. Heh, that is an odd thing to confuse with moral amiguity. I've never had anyone do this though.

people confuse moral ambiguity with depth because most people do not question their beliefs on a daily basis.

if you want more poof sit in a Freshman ethics class. shit was painful to her dumb kids stumble over defending the death penalty while being against abortion. BUSH COUNTRY

>> No.718792

>>718767
i dont see any reason you couldn't hold both those views.
having a single blanket idea of anything is pretty silly, life and death included.

>> No.718838

Because even the most idealistically devout people in modern society are morally ambiguous.
Within man exists forces that both contradict and are at battle with one another, thus a realistically written person showcases doubts and fears, character growth and even idealistic changes. If I'd want to go witness black and white ideals given human form, I'd go look at the animatronics at Disneyland.

>people who kill people should be killed
>people(children) who dont shouldnt be killed

Those dont seem like very conflicting views, perhaps you are the one who doesnt question your own beliefs and calls everyone you disagree with "dumb"

>>718838
Furthermore, everyone is a slave to situational factors. I am not the same person with the same set of morals at both point A and B in time. I do not were the same mask at a war zone or in a peace time, at my friends or at my parents. I might hold onto some ideals that I believe that are hardcoded within me, but they are not.
Do not confuse moral ambiguity with nihilism, for it to is an abstract ideal that betrays moral ambiguity.

Obviously not, but if you have a better system you'd like to propose as opposed to being the kid sitting in the back of the biology class shouting "EVOLUTION IS ONLY A THEORY DURRRRR" then let's hear it.

>> No.719063

I fail to understand the operational definition of moral ambiguity and its relationship to depth in this thread. It is kind of ironic that the sentence used to bring up the topic of moral ambiguity is ambiguous. But on the topic of abortion and the death penalty, it is different to kill a person who has committed a crime than a potential child. However, to demand the right to life for one group while simultaneously denying it to another group is a paradoxical argument. To make both claims shows conflicting moral views. If each person has the right to life than you cannot take it away from one person without sanctioning the right to take it away from anyone.

This.
Also, why do people confuse moral ambiguity with character flaws?
