Would you buy someone a gift that you found morally wrong?

If it's what they want, I'd get it as long as it's not illegal or some shit like that..

Why dont you just get your brother a giftcard to the store that sells whatever item it is??
If that doesn't work, just get him a Visa giftcard or an Amex giftcard..that way he can buy whatever it is and you don't have to worry about it |

This thread is pointless.

There's too many scenarios/"it depends" involved to answer this question without you providing examples or people providing a ton their own.

As for the OP, I wouldn't give them something that made me feel guilty or that I did something wrong, however I would if it simply went against my opinion. For example: I wouldn't buy anyone drugs (immoral and wrong), but I would buy someone a book that said Obama was God (opinion), even if I disagreed. Did that help? |

Uhm, since you are being silly and won't say what it is no one can answer. If it is heroin, obviously I would not buy it. If it is a white power guidebook
or Nazi propaganda I wouldn't buy it. If it happens to be a politician's book who I don't like I would buy it.

Most likely as long as it wasn't illegal for me to buy, for him to have it or was a tool to do something illegal. Assuming of course that the said person
is an adult and therefore we can take age inappropriate out of the equation. It's a gift to someone, not a statement of what I stand for.

If they are asking for something Hannah Montana related, then no. I have strong moral values that prevent me from contributing to the financial success of
Miley Cyrus.

If it ain't detrimental to their health, or something that would contribute to that. I won't buy my mom and dad cigarettes, and I wouldn't buy them
a bong or anything, but if they wanted a dildo or something then sure. Not that I'm against dildos at all. Just an example.

If it's illegal, I wouldn't. If it's legal then I see no problem with giving someone what they want.

I did once. I don't drink alcohol and never have but I gave a friend of mine a Jello Shot kit for her 21st BDay. I felt a little weird about it, but she
really loved it.
If I were you, I would get him something you think he could use, and then maybe supplement that with a gift card so he can get whatever he wants. |

The only thing that I wouldn't do is buy booze for an alcoholic, or anything illegal.

Eh, unless it's child porn, what other people believe or think is NOMB.
