My Principle

Firstly, I can think of no rule or law that should be enforced on everyone that hasn't already been implemented as a basic human right. Even then, many times the most good trumps any law, and that is certainly righteous. In fiction this is often espoused, like vigilante heroes or even historical assassins, people who break the law to uphold justice. So it is apparent that law does not always equal the true good for every situation. That being said, a good principle for everyone to accept is to never compromise his own principles, and to stay true to what he knows is right. A super simple example of this is people faced with the gay-marriage, who will either accept the reality of it, and often allow the same basic human right to other men. Yet many people will not see simple facts, and follow the fairy-tails (no pun intended) of their pastors or politicians. So basically truth and right come form reason and the reality of the situation, and not blind faith. That being said a super good principle is to not eat babies. Really, their is never any reason to eat a baby. It's probably as evil as a guy can go, and they are terrible for you. Don't eat people in general, but when a group of dudes is are stranded and a guy is having heat stroke and he tells his bros they need to eat him to survive, well ,then that's ok.

  1. I'm confused, are you talking about eating babies or gay marriage or politicans?? I believe that you are talking about cannibalism, so next time, please make it more clear that you are and support your argument with more evidence than just stacking it on in the end with a couple sentences.
    In all seriousness, it is a good principle not to subject to cannibalism (it is something that I wouldn't do myself) but then why even mention at the end that it would be "ok"? A principle is something you live by and that you wouldn't break under any circumstance.

  2. I don't care that your confused, this isn't a personal speech to you, it is a general opinion I was made to share for an English grade. So maybe next time you should chill out and see that this was supposed to be a simple statement of belief, not a college thesis with arguments and evidence.
    I'm glad you agree cannibalism is bad and I mention that consenting consumption of a deceased fellow survivor has been done many times and is morally justifiable, though not ideal. I will not omit a fact just to strengthen my point, or else it isn't even a valid point. The hypothetical of gay marriage and how people listen to politicians or churches was analogy for my "thesis" that people should stay true to what they know is right instead of just following others. And finally, for the record, a principle is a truth that guides belief and behavior, not some unbreakable rule, otherwise McCarthy wouldn't have specified that it had to be an unbreakable principle.
