Default Re: Real World Philospohy

Much as any ethical system tries to hide it, they all rest on one or more unproveable assumptions somewhere along the line, of the "feel good" variety or otherwise. As such, there isn't too terribly much point with all the intervening logic, as it all rests on the assumption(s) anyway. Much simpler to take an absolute stance and state a thing is right or wrong flat out. I go with the Ten Commandments, perhaps adding a dab of some of the others ethical systems every here and there for the odd situation.
