    I was wondering ..

    How do you guys see yourself in relation to morale and ethics? Do you consider yourself a moral being or not? Do ya follow abstract principles (act so that you minimize suffering/maximize happiness) or do you follow a morale that is more context-related (everyone else is full so it doesnt matter if I steal the last piece of cake)?

    You dont have to get too philosophical or too niched. I think everyone is aware that most who follow absolute rules will sometimes be a bit utilitarian or opportunistic and vice versa for the others. Just roughly try to describe yourself and explain your "rules" even if you dont follow them 100% :)

    I wouldn't steal. I'll help someone if I can. If I find money, I'll keep it. If I find a wallet or purse I'll return it. If someone treats me bad, I drop them or ignore. I believe in the pursuit of happiness, so long as it doesn't interfere with someone else's pursuit. However, sexually, I've never had any morals. I've slept with married/taken men before. I figure if a dog wants someone else to walk him and I happen to be walking that direction, then he can follow along if he wants.
