Ethics and Morality
Ethics is about what we should – and should not - do. It includes identification of basic principles, e.g. the prerogatives of property owners; and the application of those principles to actual situations, e.g. copyright protection of intellectual property over the Internet.

What is the relationship between ethics and evolution?
A:
There is no possible relationship between ethics and the evolution of species, which is a scientific fact regardless of whether we regard it as a desirable form of progression. However, some people have taken the evolutionary concept of 'survival of the fittest' out of context and used it to describe unethical situations. This alows others to link evolution with unethical conduct and judge it by association, although that association does not really exist.

You are black and people laugh at you what to do?
You can ask why they are laughing at you. If they give no reason or say it's because you're black, then you can point out the ignorance they are showing and how it makes them look. You also probably need to disassociate yourself from people like that because sometimes, they choose not to ever change their mind.
All in all, don't let it discourage you or push you over the edge because there isn't anything wrong with being black, no matter how some may try to place that thought in your head. Sometimes people just feel a need to make others feel bad to make themselves feel better, and that says they have very low self esteem and are highly insecure.

An ethical situation or more usually an ethical dilemma is one in which there is a conflict within oneself about what to do based on his personal ethics. Generally it pits two competing principles against each other. For example, a paramedic may not want to move a traffic collision victim out of a car due to suspicion of spinal injury but he also knows that the car is on fire and the fire is getting close to the gas tank. So, he must make a choice in regard to his ethic of doing no harm to the victim by not potentially injuring his spine further causing permanent paralysis and his ethic of not letting someone come to harm due to his inaction as his delay in moving the victim could cause due to the fire and possible explosion.

What is the relationship between religion and ethics?
One definition of ethics is the study of moral principles. Based on that definition, some say that ethics has no place in religion because we are required to obey God's law, not study or criticise it.
Others see ethics as broadly encompassing moral principles and the rules for understanding and applying them. The Bible contains some fairly general moral principles but does not cover every situation, nor does it tell us what to do when we have conflicting moral obligations. Ethics can provide the guidance missing from the Bible.
What is the theodicy of disprivilege?
A religious explanation and justification for social inequality and social deprivation, explaining the marginalization (or disprivilege) of believers, often used as a test of faith with the promises of compensating rewards in a future after death.

In general, the boards provide a forum for a number of different inputs. Particularly on questions where there is no "pat" answer. The idea that your answer is "all that" may not be an objective one. It's your answer, and you might be a bit less objective as to how it looks than someone who has no investment in the work. Certainly there are differences of opinion here that are clearly based on ideology and personal points of view. The "Creation" section has a number of questions that demonstrate this. Additional questions in the "Science" sections (and their answers) have been "attacked" by "vandals" whose motivation is passing along religious ideas that have absolutely basis in science. But let's not go there. The question that should be asked is, "What can I do about it?" Certainly you can repost an answer. You are still an editor. Why don't you put your work back up? You don't have to remove their work like they did yours, but edit your answer back up. See how it goes. It's probably true that most of the changes that are not outright vandalism are made by contributors who think their answers are better than yours. And most of them are signed up. A contributor who is signed up can be contacted by message. You might inquire as to why someone edited your work or stripped an answer off the boards entirely. "I saw you had edited my answer to such-and-such a question off completely. Why did you do this? It said 'A' and it said 'B', both of which directly answer the question...." Lastly, there is help. There is a group of folks here called supervisors (supers) who can help you sort things out. No one may come here and harass anyone else by stripping off their answers, and supers are bound by the policies of the boards to assist and effect moderation in these and other situations. With these things in mind, why not conduct an experiment if you feel the way you seem to? Contact an editor who has removed your work. Ask why. If it's a super, you can still ask why. And supers can be called to account for their work. Supers have been asked to interceed between other supers and a contributor or even between two supers who have a difference of opinion. There are solutions to problems. Sometimes we need to experiment to find them, and at other times we work with another or others to find all the puzzle parts needed to complete a thing.
I would surmise the Origin of Logic to be the event of Adam & Even in the 'garden'... just after eating the fruit from the forbidden tree; therein gaining knowledge of good and evil. Then, covering themselves and hiding from God as He later returned to the garden.
That chain of events and tracing back to the 'sequence' that led to the whole demise;
- ...the instructions for existence in the garden
- ...the half-truth presentation of the serpent
- ...the 'assessment' and interpretive reasoning surrounding the instructions for this forbidden fruit (buying in to the half-truth)
- ...the defiant decision to partake
- ...and ultimately the shame, guilt, and embarrassment for the violation - not to mention the resulting chaos it all brought on.
For want of an apple, too.

Always forgive your enemies nothing annoys them so much?
you are so right. people who are horrible want to be surrounded by horrible people, or at least people who have the potential to be horrible. forgiveness, and morals, are not ok with them,as a matter of fact, they hate and envy those kinds of folks.when you forgive and move on, you win
Answer:
It not only annoys your enemies to forgive, but your allies as well. There can be nothing ore annoying than being forgiven for crimes one has not asked forgiveness for. When one asks for your forgiveness, whether it be your friends and loved ones or your enemies, then grant them that forgiveness. In the meantime, show them compassion as silently as you can and that will annoy your enemies just as much as granting them forgiveness when it was not asked but it will not annoy your allies to show them compassion. Particularly if it is silent compassion.
Is compliant behaviour the same as Ethical behaviour?
Compliancy does not automatically equate to ethical behaviour. While behaving in a legally compliant manner is certainly a step towards being ethical, it is still possible to be unethical whilst being totally compliant with legislation.
