--- Quote from: EmptyMemory on May 09, 2012, 12:47:53 AM ---As lame as this might sound, I heavily take my morals into account before I make a decision. The best outcome isn't as important to me.
However, if morality is not in question, then I use more logic than intuition.

You judge a situation and try to make the moral choice? My, my, that must be all laughs.

Hey, you asked me how I made my decisions, and that's my honest answer. I don't recall condescension being a part of the deal.

In my first post on this thread I made following statement:

Our morality - the sense of what is right and wrong heavily influences our general perspective on pretty much everything. Thus even when we apply logic when making decisions, our morality will play a role in the outcome of the decision. I will side with EmptyMemory here and from my own perspective, the laugh is on you, metro.

Depends on the nature of the situation. Metro hasn't really stated what kind of choices we're talking about in this thread. The choice of whether or not to have sex with your best friend's drunk sister is probably going to follow a different thought process than the choice of what career do you want to pursue, or whether or not you want to get that rattling noise in your car engine looked at by mechanic.
metro.:
I wasn't trying to come across... condescending is what you called it right?
The point I was trying to make was that making choices based on logic and intuition is difficult enough, and then you throw in a blinding moral compass that steers you...
Well in my experience I find that morality, being such a personally derived concept, typically makes decisions messy. Especially when you add in any kind of collaboration. But, if that came across poorly perhaps I should have just rolled with it.
And Ixarku, there is nothing different about any of those three choices. In my opinion, of course.
EmptyMemory:
Aight, no big. I misunderstood.
And to an extent, I agree. It's late, so I'll elaborate later if I remember.
