The Ethicist
Everyone has an opinion but at least I can say that I have a reason (or did I mean reasoning?) for all of mine, but I am open to different interpretations of the Life Experience than my own. I thought of looking for a Forum like this one when I found myself drifting to the "everything else" sections of other specialty Forums and so I figured: why not look for a Forum where they deal with "everything else" specifically? So here I am.

Re: The Ethicist
My story in these forums is a lot like yours too LuckyR.LuckyR wrote:I can honestly say that I have never studied philosophy, though I am a (relatively new) member of my facility's Ethics committee and as such have done some reviews of the Ethics literature. Of course in this day and age having no formal basis for an opinion is no barrier to spouting one from the digital mountaintop, so why not me?

I found myself straying into their philosophy sections, and now I have started surfing philosophy-only forums.
Scott's online philosophy club is my third such philosophy-only forum and it looks pretty good so far.
I have read the lament here that Facebook is taking over the Internet, however on Facebook there is too much personal data being revealed.
I like being Yios-Theoy here rather than on Facebook.
Plus I don't want to get sucked into yet another Jewish thing that was created by a Jewish kid all because his Jewish girlfriend would not go out with him anymore because she did not think he would ever become rich enough. Funny story though!
Nobody replied to your O/P thread so I am doing the honors to thusly move it off the unanswered threads list.
Hopefully by now you have started reading some philosophy-only books.
They all talk about ethics.
I suspect that you already saw my professional ethics-only thread.
I have learned that professional ethics is a jury of your peers and they will decide if you did what they would have done in the same situation.
That's professional ethics in a nutshell.
