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

My siblings and I have this thing where we each get another person for the Christmas holidays, and switch off every year. We swap lists in early August (I
know, shut up.) and everything on my brother's list goes against things I stand for. I'm NOT going to be specific as to avoid a shit storm, so
don't even try.
But would you buy something you found morally or ethically wrong/irresponsible? |

I don't really think there are any gifts I consider morally wrong, so it's hard to say.

can't answer it unless I know what it is
Guns? Drugs? Bongs? I don't know who the hell would ask for stuff morally wrong for CHRISTmas but I guess my answer would be no. Maybe a gift card to Best Buy or something would be a better option. |

Let's Hug It Out, for example, it would be like you buying every Michael Moore DVD/Book, giving it to a sibling, and saying you loved it, enjoy!
Should I just get him a damn gift card or something? I mean, wtf! |

What does he have on the list, that he wants, that is so morally offensive? Little boys, a dog fighting ring, money to get his woman an abortion?

Well, it would heavily depend on the item.
But it's not for you, it's for him. |

Did y'all not read the first post? I'm not saying what it is.

Um, I think they read it, they're just saying it's impossible to answer.

Then we can't answer you straight. So we'll assume you're either being a moral tight ass as seeing the gift isn't for you, or that your brother
is a wack job asking for something insane.

Or you could answer the original question, which was 'Would you buy someone a gift that you found morally wrong?'.

Would depend if I would financially be supporting a cause or group I don't agree with, or if it's like... a shirt that has something that I disagree
with on it. Or something.

Yes, it's for them, not me. I can't imagine a gift that would be too offensive to get for somebody. Unless its like a bomb or something...
