Why do you have the moral system that you have?
What is a concise defintion or explination for you moral system?
Is morality a valid way of living?

I guess i have my moral system because thats how i was raised. I dunno what a clear definition of it is though. I just try to help people, and be nice, and in return, i expect the same. If someone violates that by wronging me, then i retaliate with the same exact force, "eye for an eye".
Ultimately, everything is opinion, so its really impossible to say if "morality" is a good way of living. Althoug,h i would guess that the majority of people would agree.

My morals are a combination of how I was raised and my views on how a member of a group needs to conduct himself to ensure the survival and improvement of the group. Basically, just get along.

I think its morally wrong to kill someone. I can think of an example, A couple weeks ago some guy left his money clip sitting on the counter were i work, it had his credit cards and about 186 dollars. I gave it back, when everybody else that I talk to said that they would have kept it. And to tell the truth if it hadn't had any ID with it I probably would have kept it. So you see i have morals, but they can be strectched.

Utimately, everyone in society today has the "morals" they do because of religion though.Our society was founded by Christians, so really most morals we have, regardless of religion, come from the basics of Christianity. For example, the Middle East, where Islam is the dominant religion, has different views on morals then we do. The people in Asia have a different set of morals too.

I have the system i have because i see that far as my involvement in matters goes its is ultimately my decision and that decision shall affect however many people it does. Weighing up the on the spot pros and cons to most things i act accordingly, or whereas i make an instinct decision.
A concise definition is hardly known, nor the reason for doing it that way. The main thing behind it though was taken from physics and newton. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Society is built as much with laws and such and while my stature is hardly one to make a difference or be known i feel that while others do it by law then why the hell cant i.
It is valid and invalid way of living, each style of living holds good and bad aspects, this isnt any different.

my morals come from the was i was raised and what iv seen in my life, i learned alot of what makes me ME in karate...and iv been the nice guy and the mean guy and i see that you get alot farther in life just being nice, but not letting people step on you..i think that a mean person is hideing from something that happend in the past and is not one with his self he is unbalenced and is not in touch with his iner self

well i'm not moral because i fear god, i just usaully feel bad when i hurt the feelings of others so usaully i don't unless being a bit mean to them can encourage them to wake the fuck up. i know evil has its place just as good has its place but i tend to be on the lightside because that's just how i am most of the time. i usaully try seeing the colors between simple black and white but sometimes i find i'm still a bit biased. i guess if i was to some up my moral code it'd be live and let live, treat others how you wish to be treated, and enjoy life while you can because every day could be your last....
