Hey Answerers, What If...

[TheAnswerer]

Alright, so you find a question just like this one, but it asks for directions to do something immoral.

Would you answer the question and actually "help" the question asker execute the immoral (and yet legal) act, or would you dictate the question asker on how wrong this is?

Poll below!

P.S. Would your answer to the poll change if the "immoral question" was in the "sexuality" category? (Please answer separately from the poll).

I would answer the question. The best answer is the relevant one, not a didactic one.

I would answer the question, but also tell the asker not to do it because its just wrong.

I would not answer the question. I would go on about how wrong that act is (even if my speech would be very irritating for the asker).

I would just ignore the question and move on to the next one.

There's no "universal answer" to my question, I guess...

Morals are relative. Everyone has an individual specific value system, and as long as they aren't breaking a law, then I have no right to infringe upon their rights even if I disagree. My reaction to an "immoral" question would vary depending on the question; I may more may not feel inclined to voice that I think something is wrong, unless my opinion is asked for.

If someone wants help on how to become a better liar, fine. They're entitled to that right. If someone wants help on how to hide their cheating from their significant other, some may view that as immoral while some may see it as natural. With "sexuality" questions, I think that my morals may show more in the encouragement that I give people, but I still don't want to be overbearing.

I answer with what fits my morals or with what I think is the least biased viewpoint. If giving directions on something "immoral" fits that, then I may do it. Morals are socially constructed and subject to personal interpretation.

Great question, by the way.

Thank you. :)

Thank you.

Also, I agree with selfishstars.

i would move on because chances are the person has already made up their mind to do the immoral act whatever it might be. they posted the question hoping for support and ignore the ones that are against the action they wish to do. So, I avoid those questions because I feel like I'm wasting my time and my answer won't help anyone.

im not a big believer in trying to change or convince people that what they think is wrong -hence why I despire religion-, so if I could I would try to help them, yet, I would also state my view on the morallity of the act if needed.

I would, but I would conclude my answer with "Think that through. I wouldn't do that sh*t if I was you."
