The Question: The means (methods) justify the end (outcome). Agree or Disagree?

My 2 Cents: As long as it isn’t illegal, unethical or immoral, I say the means (methods) justify the end (outcome). The bottom line is that you better be ready to live with the consequences of your actions, because you’re going to have to live with them regardless of whether you’re ready or not.

KittybTM  agree. If u require an outcome u must be devoted to any way to get there

consciousskillz  It depends. Righteous methods evoke a righteous/positive outcome and vice versa. Which one do you choose?

ILNorg  DISAGREE its the trip thats 95% of the fun!

ObiOrion  Disagree. It’s the ends justify the means. And I think it applies so long as you don’t violate your own principles.

walkerdl  it depends. Ideally, no, but sometimes, the ends are good despite the means

Speaklife2  Depends: rob a bank, kill a couple of ppl 2 give money 2 poor?- No; but, keep something frm someone 2 spare hurt?-Maybe.

chela816  I don’t think the ends justify the means and while means *should* justify ends…unfortunately, they don’t always..

Pettra88  Disagree sometimes the means outweigh the outcome!

PROTECTED TWEETER Depends, shouldn’t hurt ppl

atane  Kind of an open ended question. It depends on the situation and/or moral inclination of the individual.

sistagp  disagree

shargrove  disagree

thed_weezy  “at times… By any means, ya know?”

BLKMGK  Most of the time the ends justify the means.

iJustJason  Usually. Can’t say always, but usually. We live in a result-driven culture & at the end of the day, the results matter

rishaholmes  disagree

JoshDamage  because sometimes the means are brutal. But if it’s for a greater cause I’m for it. Perfect example: waterboarding terrorists

JoshDamage actually I do agree I’m sorry.

md20737  HARD question but I say NO
