I don't see the distinction between ethic and morals either.

Which one? Frankfurter Paulskirche, 1848?It was your parliament, actually.
I have no idea to which extent the French Revolution is covered in France, but I would think as you do.One would have thought that the French Revolution would be well-covered in France...
Ecthelion, I didn't want to be so impolitely direct when complaining about his usernameYou're just Apolyton's only Nazi
Most of my views are conservative. And I've learned to carefully distinguish between right-wing and conservative. I always wonder what respect the political orientations would get if Stalin had lost tje war and Hitler won. But in this case, there were probably no chance for me to wonder , because in 1948, Hitler would have run out of Jews to burn and turned to catholics. And then my father

well, he might not be a literal one, or any more, but choosing that sort of name as a handle is pretty courageous for a person living in a post-war western society...Comment

Yes, I agree society should refrain for legislating morality. I guess sometimes it is unavoidable (ie, just about 100% of the population agrees morally on some issue), but it should be limited, because most moral questions are not easy to answer and there is must disagreement.
And there is a slight distinction between ethics and morality. Morality is the way one should live their life. Ethics are an asking of what is right or wrong. Like I said, slight... but still a distinction.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Governments can't legislate morality, meaning that a government can't force adults to believe things that they don't want to believe in. What a government can do is teach that morality to children. It is part of the socialization process. If a government says certain things are wrong and certain things are right, and they incorporate those values into things like patriotism and political culture. Governments then teach children using those notions (through government sponsered television shows/commercials, publications, etc.) Those children will then be more inclined to believe in those government sponsored morals. It is the parent's responsibility to tell the child if they should accept those government morals, but the beliefs of society (transmitted through the media) are highly influential. Many children/adolescents challange their parents beliefs when pop culture tells them that their parent's beliefs are wrong. Children tend to internalize popular beliefs. Therefore, through the education and socialization of children, a government can legislate morals."The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is to have with them as little political connection as possible... It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world, so far as we are now at liberty to do it." George Washington- September 19, 1796Comment

it isn't... that was some kind of understatement, it is of course stupid
in German it's quite common to call things "courageous" (in a certain tone) when they are stupid or cheekyComment
