2nd Morality Test Remove this text

This one really is good - though perhaps more of a priorities test than a morality test.

So I guess the 's' word ain't too high on my agenda?

Hm, that was hard. They all behaved a bit like assholes, if you ask me. However, I finally came up with:

F (I bet the man would have found out anyway, and while gossiping's not nice, it's also not as not-nice as what the other ones did)
B (Sure, charging a double fee is a little fishy, but the chick had no money anyway, so what difference does it make?)
M (Motives present mitigating circumstances, but he basically had the right to dump the lady)
L (What, she could get no money by other means? How does she survive?)
S (Prays on desperate women - what a noble man)

If you ask me, the boatman and the sex man were both working in cahoots.

Sex man to Lady - "The boatman charged you double you say? Why, I have £100 right here! But there's only one way to get it..."
...

Boat man to sex man - "Next time you drive the boat."

I don't see that the characters do a god job of representing the traits listed.

B is spot on (but lost money, 'coz he could've charged M to get to L and both to go back over to M's side: $150 at the regular rate)
M's loss of trust isn't necessarily based on morality (and is understandable)
F isn't necessarily acting out of friendship
L isn't acting out of love but out of impatience
S doesn't represent sex, rather lechery and predation

1) S
2) L
3) F
4) M
5) B

I don't think like everyone else here, I see... I was more thinking about S as a "bussinessman", since he wanted to help her, but he didn't want to just give her money (which bussinessman would do that?), of course he wanted something for his money... Nothing wrong here...

The girl did what she had to do, if she really loves him. Only bad thing is: She didn't tell

F didn't do anything wrong either, well except for the fact that he should have told her, that she should have M how she managed to get over there... If she refused to tell him, then it was right for F to tell...

M should have been happy that she got over to him in the first place anyway. The only point where I can see why he did what he did, was because L didn't tell him...

B is the guy who simply takes advantage of her. To charge double price "because it's her" is very bad bussiness... Cheaters are not welcome...



Love is what is highest on my list, but what she did was not 100% love... if it was 100%, then she would have told him... If she told him, L would be highest on my list... And acording to how I "translated" this, S is not Sex, but bussiness, and B is not bussiness, but advantage-taker

And I don't agree with the "double price didn't make any changes for her", since it could have... what if S only gave $50 for having sex with her... that would make a difference...

Ditto this. I value love very much, but that doesn't say anything about the morality of it all.

MFB and S did nothing 'immoral'. B can charge as much as he damn well pleases for his services, and S can offer as much as HE damn well pleases for hers. L is the one that made the decision. F told the truth, and M did nothing wrong.

I wouldn't call her action an act of infidelity. There is no disloyalty to the one she loves as her actions were not selfish but rather for the one she loved. Add to that she had no other viable options and I have a hard time holding her as immoral.

I see no reason to sour a relationship by raking up actions that are never going to be repeated. I think he would have been better off not knowing how she got back. He was happy until he found out - that reason alone is enough to see why she wouldn't want to risk spoiling it.

Its also why I think the friend should have kept their mouth shut. Unless there was a reason (such as her being potentially unfaithful) then there was absolutely no reason to tell what happened. What use is that information to the Man? It destroys his happiness, and for what? Nothing.

That depends on the situation but I know that I would want to know about unfaithfulness regardless and would be very angry with a friend that knew and did not tell me. Friends should "have your back" so to speak and it is for the Man and not the friend to judge what results from the information.

The friend did nothing wrong - we have no reason to believe the motives were suspect. Just because they're opposite sexes doesn't mean she was trying to jump into his undies.

The girl did what she had to do to get to her lover, who apparently couldn't care less about getting to her. At least she showed some inititative

Got spare money?

L
B
M
F
S

L - had no choice (in the story) other than go along with S, or not ever see M. Worst thing she did was misjudging M as being worth the bother.

B - doubling his price shows he's a greedy bastard, but he's only indirectly responsible at most for anything else. Doubling the price is not irrelevant because she's broke, it aggravates the situation, by presenting her with an even greater barrier to getting across. Perhaps at the normal fare, she would have had another alternative.

M - regardless of what F told her, talking to L would have established she didn't do it for kicks, or to fund a shopping spree, she did it only to get across the river to be with M, after being gouged by B and exploited by S. Immature, self-absorbed, unforgiving asswipe. Should kill S, beat the **** out of B and sink his boat, and tell F to go **** himself like the cur dog he is.

F - Facts are absolute, truth is not. If F knew the entire situation, F should have had the good sense to shut the **** up. It wasn't infidelity, it was exploitation and coercion. If F did not know the entire situation, F might be alright in telling M, (though it's still not his business without knowing what was going on), but should have been very clear on what F knew and didn't know.

S - coercive little gobshite taking advantage of L's problem for his own game. Cut off his balls and feed them to him, then tie him up in the bottom of B's boat, so he'll get to drown after it sinks.
