I'm not sure about this in a very amusing sort of way. You see, my dog knows what is right and what is wrong, because I drilled it into his little brain. He knows that taking a piss inside the house is bad; he doesn't do it because he knows I'll punish him for it. Likewise, he knows that doing whatever I tell him to do (sit, lay down, etc.) is the right thing to do.
You know what? He lives a pretty sad life. His sense of morality: right = obeying me. wrong = disobeying me.


Just felt like adding this in when ATPG underestimated inferior beings a bit too much. Go on with your serious discussion, bro's.
