Re: com-u-th!
what unethical in one culture is totally approved in another. Morality is subjective and relative to the norms of society. Buttering is buttering however you want to justify it. The point is that those who love buttering will do it regardless of its consequences. It’s an addiction. Morphine for the unrested soul of under-privileged community. A way up in the life, a way down in morality, perhaps; however, who cares if society accepts such a behaviour?
PS, are you philosophy teacher or something? your metaphorical use of words remind me of my yesteryears when in philosophy class, I used to run away and teacher used to drill us down so much so that we used to feel as if our brain has been eaten.
