So many fail to realize objective morals do not exist. Absolute morality is not different as both negate true morality. Morality is a system of right and wrong not right and wrong as objective products. It is about what is permissible and not permissible. Never has morality been used objectively until the recent centuries when religion was loosing ground.

Of course, as it is an act which harms others emotionally or physically. It is a negative. Although I find it ironic you mention bullying as an example

No I am referring to my professor Tongue. She is a feminist, so with that being said you can sort of imagine her style of conversing.

How can something be objectively wrong? Objective morals do not exist.

Do you know what would happen if politicians never bullied other morons so they could win? Obama does it all the time in response to terrorism and it works quite well.

They're all objective. We just experience them subjectively.
