I only feel comfortable commenting on myself, but I usually follow the rules, doing what is considered the right thing officially and etc. Ethics is another story, I'm only at school, so I don't think I have to make too many "ethical decisions" just yet, but I do think that I try and do the right thing, to hold to promises etc., would ethical behaviour be tied to -base? Remind me, what do we consider to be "ethical behaviour"?

Fundamentally, ethical behavior is about keeping others from suffering. (FeSi connection) However it invariably entails a value judgment on the part of the person, as to what levels of negative stimulus, and what kinds, are permissable and which aren't. For example it ill pleased Osama Bin Laden that we have the freedoms we do, just as it ill pleases libertarians that they are forced to pay taxes. But we see their displeasure as a worthwhile loss if it means that many others are prevented from much greater levels of displeasure and despair.

True, and probably moderated by -role, which means we prefer tradition, and would rather not to make too many claims that we should change things.

It took me a long time to justify getting on the gay marriage bandwagon. Had a lot of experience with gays before it happened. I wonder if this is a common experience for LIIs in general?

Maybe in the context of our background? You see, as a teenager I haven't had enough time to establish any type of views which are strongly held, and most of the people I know are liberal enough to support gay marriage. As such, I didn't need much "time" to change my views, as they were already set as such. I'd imagine, however, that in the future there will be things that I will be less likely to accept, but I can't comment on it at present.

Was your argument against gay marriage (in the past, this is) something like "they can have the benefits, if they want it, but it would be best not to disturb the status quo too greatly"? Or was it something different?

Maybe that's how ESEs and LIIs mesh together: They often have morals in common with the society they live in, and we often have morals based on tradition.

I always keep in mind how I should conduct myself appropriately to whatever circumstance I find myself in. I don't however, hold to arbitrary moral/social convictions that I think have no real consequential basis.

I don't see things so much as moral/immoral (In any inherent sense), but in terms of the consequential justifications of why certain behaviours should be discouraged.

Come out with it man... you just hate seeing people endure unpleasant experiences.
