|SnOmAn| Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 So there is a Farm Bureau meeting today here on campus. I was in there setting up a phone for an interview for them and the lady brought this video up in conversation and my head shot up and I was like wow, didn't even think about it. Crazy...

jagr Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I believe the meat beater is still in custody as bail was set at a cool 100K. Farm owners are not being charged with anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 The Ford Pinto case is the classical example we studied in Enginerd Skool.In said "Free market" even intangibles have a monetary value. Ethics has a price. I think that's wrong... but, that's just my humble opinion. Right, wrong, or indifferent -- that is how the system works.

Disclaimer Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) I could jog to work in less than 20 minutes. But, not many people live that close to work. Though, the intent of the rhetorical question is noted.And I can agree... I don't think there's any company out there that is completely ethical because competition isn't a breeding ground for moral behavior - it just isn't. While I still think it's wrong, I'm also not going to live in an empty house -- so I'll assimilate to the system and it's inherent flaws because it makes my life easier and arguably better. There's a give and take, a cost-benefit analysis that takes place.Still doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to improve the system for the better -- too bad 'better' is subjective.

Disclaimer Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I agree, you can't create "morally grounded individual thought", but you can still incentivize it for those that wouldn't otherwise do it in addition to the current deterrents for such behavior.
