"But if religion answers the question of what is the foundation of right, would that not be that might makes right? As God is considered the Allmighty? The ultimate power?
I would say that men do not bother with that because it isn't…"
"Not really, I am more making comments on those who wish/have to follow strict systems of morality as not being truly free. I am not saying that those who are strong enough to choose are always the ones that do so correctly."
""Also, a personal attack does not render one's argument invalid."
Well, of course it doesn't. But that is not the point of personal attacks.

Big Bad Moose replied to Big Bad Moose's discussion Questions of Morality"Many of your perspectives are very enlightening, specially MGM's, Titus's, LShields's and more I can't recall.

Dennis Leber replied to Chris Hamm's discussion Who Wears a Watch Anymore?"A gentleman wears a watch, I own several, some high end and some $20 ones. At work it presents a image of professionalism, it is a sign of power, distinguish, and manliness. Plus most importantly women notice and like it. "
