[b]Loyalty...
Loyalty (whether horizontal or vertical, internal or external) is number one. All else floats
around with second rate flotsam and jetsam between ninety and one hundred. Discuss.

What about truth, honesty and integrity? Could you translate your statement into
pablum for those of us at the common denominator level?

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyLoyalty is merely a means to an end in the survival stakes and for all intents and purposes it's a lower level of consideration than the formation of moral and epistemic frameworks. Justification and the removal of inconsistency, both moral and epistemic, blow loyalty out of the water.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyJews, Ovens and Concentration Camp Guards spring to mind. Do you suppose it was loyalty that made them do it? Perhaps it was just Wagner.

The post that was quoted here has been removedHorizontal Loyalty
Not passing wind in a conga line.
Vertical Loyalty
Holding a lady's hair up while they're being sick.
Internal Loyalty
When touching cloth with no nearby conveniences, your bowels hold on just long enough for you to find a safe drop zone.
External Loyalty
Owning up to your silent farts in public areas.

Originally posted by MontyMooseI already said that. Your friend Paul, whoever he is, plagiarized me, I'm gonna get him for that. ðŸ˜
Well folks in the Mafia and drug gangs prize loyalty.......
Paul had another slant on it:
"But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love."

loyalty is a temporal value.
honesty is a value between people.
the highest good a human can aspire to is graditude.
there are higher and better values but they they belong to those who are not human.
