New York State just passed a law making it mandatory for all health care workers to receive both the regular flu shot and the H1N1 (swine) flu shot. Do you think this is a good thing? Yes. It goes with the territory. As health care workers it is our responsibility to be proactive and take every precaution to stay healthy, especially in the event of possible disasters, because we are the front line. Every health care institution that I have ever worked for insisted on the employees getting the annual flu shot as a precaution. They would've mandated masks and other...

What is the difference between socialism and capitalism? Did real socialism ever exist? In my opinion, the most important differences between Capitalism and Socialism is, that Capitalism provides an economy that can enable democracy, whereas Socialism, because it considers the greater good of society over the rights and freedoms of the individual, leaves little room for individual rights. In practice, however, both bury the rights of the individual under either the Corporation,...

Is the fact that liberals have blatantly exploited the murder of Dr. Tiller as an opportunity to attack/blame the pro-life movement an indication that the pro-abortion movement is intellectually bankrupt and can only employ ad hominem argument? Don't make me laugh. The Religious Right have spewed their hatred throughout the media for decades and, when under fire, employed either their Christian dogma (which is a faith accepted only by them and not arguable) or have found false refuge in the Twelve Fallacies as if these were the Religious Right's own personal avenging angels here to save us all from the evil vortex of reason...

Why is slavery so widely accepted and tolerated in the world today when it was considered so heinous in the mid 1800's? Slavery within the States has always been an issue as evidenced in the Federalist Papers and even Jefferson's arguments for equality -- like many founding fathers, a slave owner who aspired that one day the country would be free of the peculiar institution. From the first Quaker abolitionists of the 1700s, through the unilateral manumissions of one northern state at a time, the Fugitive...

Answer to:
Is stealing always a moral wrong or are there any situations in which stealing is justified?

It's just not right and it's bad for your psyche.
