The moral relativist are up in arms over the actions of a naive/immoral young man and woman. With the example set by our leading Politicians why should we be surprised? People in the armed forces are no different from football players, State Politicians of all persuasions or our current Federal Government. Are our pollies really disgusted or do they just have to act as if they are? If they were so disgusted why do they sniff chairs, fornicate and tell lies? These cadets are just a reflection of immoral society brought about by the philosophies of those who are now shouting the loudest.

runner,
you have just identified the core of the problem. Let's hope others can see that too.

runner,

No doubt you are frustrated that humans behave...well, like humans. Sorry to inform you, but it seems people have always fornicated and told lies (even in the best circles of morality).

When I was looking up some Kirk records of one of my ancestors back in the early eighteen hundreds in Scotland, I was fascinated to see the workings of this tight-knit "moral" society. They Kirk had a lot of muscle back then in influencing how society operated - and guess what?....those records were full of people telling lies and fornicating.

Unfortunately, the upshot of our being such a clever species is that we have a talent to mislead - it sets us apart intelligence-wise from the other mammals.

Or do you think all this "behaviour" is a recent development?

I put it down to allowing women to be elected to parliament and to serve in the armed forces. Without them, Liberals wouldn't sniff chairs, soldiers and politicians wouldn't fornicate and nobody would tell lies.

Poirot asks

'Or do you think all this "behaviour" is a recent development?'

Read what took place in Sodom and Gommorah and you will see it certainly is not new. Man is corrupt to the core. The displays of horrors from our politicians however is total hypocritical if you were to examine their lives. Why should people be so surprised at the actions of the cadets or football players when our elected leaders are no better?

runner,

I believe if you examined each and every epoch of history, you would find the same conduct.

People are hypocritical, whether they are elected or inherit their exalted positions.

But there is goodness and altruism also....why do you always concentrate on the negatives?

As in every facet of life, there are consistently two sides in evidence.
