I can provide you with enough reading material to keep you busy for the next week detailing how sitting down is 'unhealthy' for a human being. Is sitting down morally reprehensible?

No it doesn't. Driving a car is not the same as engaging in promiscuous sex. Man.
I will not condemn an entire demographic group but will condemn immoral behaviour by individuals.

Originally posted by FMFNo it doesn't, its not even relevant and is typical argument one meets when arguing against deaths from guns, more people die on the roads etc should we stop driving cars etc . Its a nonsense. It doesn't even address the same issue.

Originally posted by FMFNo its doesn't, infact its not even relevant. Its like saying people have died in a hot climate by not drinking enough water, therefore not drinking enough water is dangerous. Its a nonsense argument.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieYour argument that risks attached to behaviour make it immoral to engage in that behaviour. Proper Knob's analogies about cars and sitting down and my reference to the risks of heterosexual sex reveal your argument to be weak.

Originally posted by FMFthey are not even relevant, driving a car is not the same as engaging in promiscuous sex. You were telling us how remaining chaste carried with it the same risk as engaging in promiscuous sex, after all according to you all sexual activities contain risk, is that so?
Your argument that risks attached to behaviour make it immoral to engage in that behaviour. Proper Knob's analogies about cars and sitting down and my reference to the risks of heterosexual sex reveal your argument to be weak.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieLike I said, promiscuity may well involve morally unsound behavior but I do not think promiscuity is, in and of itself, morally unsound.
I am making perfect sense, you will tell us what driving a car has to do with engaging in promiscuous sex.

Originally posted by FMFSo if its not the same then what relevance does it have? Am I at the same risk of dying in an aeroplane than if I never fly? If not then the comparison is ludicrous, for I will likely never catch HIV from driving a car, will I.
