Incest, homosexuality

You saying I am not part of 'the rest of normal society'? Insinuating if my morality differs from yours that I am not "Normal"?

No, not at all. I am saying it is a social taboo, thus insinuating the majority of society deems this practice unacceptable or improper.

You are dead wrong. I'm a woman and I'm polygamist, and I never get jealous. You are putting a stereotypical monogamous woman into a position of polygamy. What you said is simply not true. Polygamy rocks. Also, humans are biologically polygamous. The first humans had many "wives" and "husbands". Another thing is that other primate species are polygamous, and so are we, but religion had told us we are monogamous when we are not.

I like this.....against the law in Australia if you are married though.

Your language was confused, Individuals find something morally repulsive the same way a detective finds someone guilty, it's based on an evaluation of some moral standard, so it makes no sense to say "I find this morally repulsive" or "I think this is morally wrong" or anything to that effect. We can remove "morally" from any one of these sentences and get the same exact meaning, demonstrating that the use of the word was meaningless within that sentence.

I'm not going to even argue with you here. Another great example. I'll put it this way just for you; If I find something repulsive, I think that it is wrong in relation to my own moral standards.

Again this makes me want to point out that using "morally" just adds meaningless baggage to your claim as morally wrong is wrong and should be prevented, to say something is morally wrong and to not want to stop it makes no sense.

*cough* Whys that. I just don't do it myself. Because I dislike something, dosen't mean I must change it, or I have the right to change it. Once again you are making assumptions based on your own understanding, who made you the arbiter of all knowledge.

The only real definition of morality is "a standard by which we judge action", how we determine what the standard is is where the moral theories like subjectivism come in, though I'm fairly confident that subjectivism is false, because it neglects to take into account relational values which do exist and are not subjective.

We each determine what that moral standard is for the individual. Once again, there is no universal moral code, and the more you try and apply it to converstations the more futile it will become. This has been discussed many times in other posts.

Individual subjectivism (I like) is what you seem to be using......

Well, yes, in regards to morals, can their be any other method.

Something being taboo does not make it morally wrong, all it means is that the society in question does not like it....

1. proscribed by society as improper or unacceptable: taboo words.

As defined.

Please note that wrong is a synonym of unacceptable.

1. not in accordance with what is morally right or good: a wrong deed.

Wrong as pertaining to morals.

Therefore, you can state that a taboo is an act considered morally wrong by society, by definition.

Aww, your playing victim because I pointed out a confusion in the way you're using terms? Come on, that's over the top

Here's a hypothetical: Incest is legal, you alone have the ability to criminalise it, would you do it and why?

I will get back to you on this one considering it is a though experiment, I will have a think about it.
