Would you throw away your morals to survive?

I like to think not. But when it comes down to it, who can say for sure?

What morals?
I don't have any, although I've read many.
I have Ethics.

Synonym discussion: moral, ethical, virtuous, righteous, and noble mean conforming to a standard of what is right and good. 'Moral' implies conformity to established sanctioned codes or accepted notions of right and wrong <the basic moral values of a community>. 'Ethical' may suggest the involvement of more difficult or subtle questions of rightness, fairness, or equity <committed to the highest ethical principles>.

I don't see how any 'moral' would stop you from surviving, other than having a moral about not murdering people or whatever. Like, not sleeping around? How is that going to help? Shit, there's a zombie outbreak, fuck, I need to suck a dick RIGHT NOW!

Not so much morals, but dignity would go straight out the window.

I can't say, there's a part of me that fears a wrathful God but then my want to survive might overpower that fear. I think I would abandon some morals, like honesty, but keeps others, like help people. Although I will be cautious of who I help.

Yes.

exactly right!

To a certain point, but not totally.

If someone was trying to steal from me or harm my area I would fight them off. Which I also think is justified even if you kill the person. If everyone was dying from desiese I do not think they would be wanting to kill babies if that was the last remaining life in the world. Since that is the only way to continue human life. Protecting your own in time of crises means you will survive since you are a strong pack. I have no lover so cheating would not be a issue at the moment. People would be stealing, robbing, killing, possibly raping. In which case killing them is expectable as it is in self defence. Another rule I believe in. So I don’t have to.

My morals are no on abortion unless rape, rape is wrong, only kill if in self defense, and don't cheat on whoever you are with, and do not judge people on the color of skin, and help your own before anyone else. So what would I have to break? I can not see how any of this would stop me from surviving.

I actually want that to happen, I'd love to go on a killing spree without fear of punishment.

I'm not joking in the slightest either, If society ever falls you do not want to bump into me.

I would just burn those zombies with my cigarette.

What if you & your girlfriend are stranded where the locals wanna rape her & kill you? You do have a gun. But you grew up hearing 1 moral of 'do not kill', yet these other guys'll kill you on sight, & they don't wanna hear you out, & you can't get away, what would you do?

Depends how strongly I feel about that particular moral I suppose

I would throw them away for a snickers so yes

To a point, everyone has there limit, but mine may be farther then I'd like to believe. Was there a scenario in mind?

When the shit hits the fan I hope I'm not in the room. Choppy sloppy grossness!!

At the present, sitting in this nice, warm apartment on my little futon in front of my flat screen with a clean bill of health and a kitchen full of food behind me, I can honestly say that I don't know and I can only tell you what I want to say.

I want to say that when it comes to things like lying, stealing, robbery and so on that I might allow myself to do so to survive (which is part of the reason why I fear homeless people sometimes, desperation can drive you to do some horrid things), but I'd want to draw the line at murder. If it came down to my murdering someone in order to survive, unless they are a direct threat upon my life, I would want to say that I wouldn't do that and I would sooner die and end the certain misery I'd experience.

it would pain me greatly to do so, but survival is the basic human urge, I don't think there would be any avoiding it if it meant survival. But I wouldn't throw them away as much as just neglect them. I would still have them, they'd just be put on hold while I got through whatever struggle I was facing to survive.
