     | Wednesday, March 14, 2001 - 07:07 am For many years I have been interested in the question of what moral obligations we might have to complete strangers. The question of moral obligations of those close and known to us is not as problematic to me. There seem to be clear moral obligations to those close to us rooted in some sort of moral contract where I voluntarily enter into relationship with people with a more or less understood set of mutual expectations. The voluntary nature of these relationships seem to carry with them moral obligations. But what about total strangers? With the exception of the social contract of government, typically I do not enter into agreements with strangers, and, for all intents and purposes, do not even know they exist. In studying some aspects of the world economy I came to believe that at times my own patterns of consumption offended the bounds of justice, requiring the land, labor, natural resources or political security of others in order that a system of exchange might continue in which I gained a significant unearned and undeserved advantage over others. Thus I sensed a moral obligation to strangers rooted in justice. On this view my patterns of consumption offended their right to freedom. In contemporary moral theory this sort of claim is rooted in what philosophers call negative rights, that is, rights to be not interfered with. It is taken that individuals have an innate right to their own freedom and the control of their own property. There may be significant reasons why the state or even other individuals may override this prima facia right of the self, but good reasons are necessary to do so. Any violation of these negative rights is taken to be a violation of justice. Most of my adult life I have been persuaded that there were such negative rights rooted in justice, but I've never seen arguments which have adequately spelled out what those obligations were in detail, nor have I be able to construct an account of this obligation of justice that satisfied my own moral sensibilities. Recently, however, I've been especially troubled by another form of the argument that we may have moral obligations to strangers. This argument is not rooted in the justice and negative human rights, but is rooted in what the authors call the obligation of beneficence. Do we listen... i don't think so! Do we care about the outcome... not! What is our aim... spill sh*t on the forum...! Yet you will always get someone crying again and again about the bullshit in here... why??? And to all those concerned about what other may say when they view the pages at somalinet... well... i say to you don't ever write a thing.. because you will only contribute to their goal... arivadechi

| | Wednesday, March 14, 2001 - 04:14 pm Did you copy this too? oh no let me see, you happen to be an intelligent well spoken god fearing somali, who just seems to have knack for plagiarism. The main issue here is not Somali people in general but YOU-stop copying and come up with your own ideas for goodness sakes. And let me make this clear, this was not your idea that people were responding to but to professor Bob Corbett's work. anti-plagiarism

| | Wednesday, March 14, 2001 - 06:08 pm Dear VOEDM You sound like a primary school student learning all about classical liberalism. But, kid for your info. Justice, democracy and equality are incompatible with the philosophy that you are studying. By the way who is teaching you, Adam Smith or Maggie Thatcher?
