Sure, there are plenty of different moral standards. In that sense, morality is entirely subjective, but I'd say it was the practice and application of morality that is subjective. We often find ourselves pointing out the things we find to be wrong about other peoples moral systems or moral standards. If it were morality that were subjective, and not -peoples moral appraisals/practices/application- that were subjective, then such a criticism would be insensible.
If, for example, I say rape is bad (mmmkay, lol
) and someone else says "maybe not" or "it's good" I doubt that we're having a simple difference of opinion.
