A tool cannot have inherent moral goodness or lack it. A tool is inanimate. It is amoral. By itself it does nothing. Only humans can put tools to uses that may be good or bad for other humans. Morality does not exist outside of human perception.
- mschuster91 10y ago> A tool cannot have inherent moral goodness or lack it. I disagree. A registry of Muslim/Jewish/... people is a tool with inherent discrimination, which has next to no known good use for society. Only for evil.
- 67726e 10y agoThe tool would be a database, the use is a registry. Also, have you never heard of a census?
- mschuster91 10y ago> Also, have you never heard of a census? In a proper census you do not collect proven-sensitive information together with identifiable information, that's the difference. A database with a direct link between identity and religion can only be used for nefarious purposes.
- PuercoPop 10y agoThey mentioned the census as a use of database (tool) that is not immoral not as being equivalent to a Muslim/Jewish registry. You seem to be missing their point
