Is abuse/assault ever justified?
Can abuse and/or assault of another person with whom you have no direct relationship be justified? You must give reasons. A simple 'yes' or 'no' will not suffice.

Genetics/Ontology
A thread to discuss the way in which genetics is appealed to in ontological arguments: what conceptual/discursive uses is genetics being put to; what metaphors are used for genetics (and what is genetics metaphorically used for); and what implications are there for our understanding of genetics, ontology, existence, 'nature' vs 'culture', and so on?

"innocent? let's go back to that word...innocent"
the concept of "childhood innocence" is a twentieth century middle-class invention perpetuated by a mass-media that perviously had never existed, and it's a fallacy.
there's this notion of "innocence" that does not mean "the opposite of guilty". it's the idea that children should be protected from life as it is: sex, violence and so forth.

Does anyone hold that morals are the basis of truth?
Initially, the purpose of the thread is to find out whether any philosophers have taken this position. If they are found, then elaboration and discussion on the position itself would be nice.
