What is the source for our morals?

RE: What is the source for our morals?
(December 10, 2015 at 11:43 pm)Nestor Wrote: Well, if everyone had a different opinion on what they think is moral - and I don't think that's actually apparent, especially insofar as virtually every culture to some degree finds agreement on a range of moral axioms, such as the Golden Rule
IDK......... a good ole boy in the american south believes in the golden rule..just that it doesn't apply to people with black skin.  It would be disingenuous to say, then, that he believed even in the same "golden rule" as a black minister in detroit.  Even apparent agreement masks a vast gulf of disparate personal moral value and directive statements. Saying that we find "some degree" of agreement explicitly but quietly invokes those disagreements-within-our-agreement.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
