It is unethical to buy an SUV

Look, as good as it is that you are trying to debate something intelligent like ethics, there is a lot you don't understand. Ethics is a moral philosophy that is used to judge right and wrong behavior. There are several different branches ranging from hedonism (An ethical action maximizes instant pleasure to reduce pain, they believe in instant gratification) Epictus (which values peace and serenity of mind) and applied ethics (which apply ethical application to real life applications, and an action's affect on society), among countless others. So we can see that there are several different ways to apply ethics. For a heathen, it would be perfectly ethical to buy an SUV. But, assuming you are talking applied ethics, or a similar branch, the action of buying an SUV cannot be determined ethical or unethical, because we do not know how it will affect society. You stated a few arguments against this in your last argument, so i would like to go over that now. to my argument of, "the object is irrelevant" you stated: if the knife wasn't there, then there would the use of being unethical for stabbing someone - frankly i don't know what you are trying to say, but it doesn't matter what you use to stab someone with, the act is still unethical, because it harms someone. to my argument of "a machine that uses more gas is not unethical" you stated: How many people do you know that just buy an SUV and leave it in their garage? NO ONE that's why it is unethical!!! - again, what are you talking about? i stated if a family buys an extra car, because it makes life easier that are entitled to do so. that same rules apply for an SUV. i never said they were going to leave it in the garage. To my argument of SUV's are only as dangerous as the people driving them, you stated: I ask you how many people do you know who drive at 20 mile per hour all the time? I rest my case - I am sorry but that is just ignorant. granted i may have used an extreme example, but just like all the other times in this debate, you refuse to attack the point behind it. Again, an SUV in not inherently dangerous, but it becomes so with a bad driver. heres another example, think about it this way, a car with the best crash test rating can still be dangerous if the driver is drunk. ok so then you go on to state a bunch of random facts about how much SUVs pollute the environment, and how they are not as structurally sound as other vehicles, and how they don't have to be safe. -these points do not mean buying one is unethical. Ethics are relative on the intent and the affection on society. Ex- murder is wrong because it harms society, stealing is wrong because it hurts society. But buying an SUV is ambiguous. i already gave examples of how an suv could be used that are beneficial(which my opponent ignored)these included a disabled family using it to make transportation easier. Or it could be used by the police, forest rangers, or in a way to help lost hikers and travelers. or even to make life easier for a large family. the main point of my argument is that SUVs are amoral, they are just machines, buying one doesn't cause a negative impact on society. But using it inappropriately, or too much (like any vehicle) then it can pose problems. If my opponent wanted to have a debate that was polluting the environment is immoral. or needlessly driving vehicles was unethical then maybe he could swing it. but simply buying an SUV is not unethical or ethical, but rather immoral
