No one, from any time period, could ever convince me that something like the rape, murder and dismemberment of an innocent 16 year old girl is morally "subjective" and is determinate to a given culture of whether it is right or wrong. In fact, if a culture does make allowances for those actions, than that entire culture is repugnant and worthy of the majority's condemnation.I think you can't say it wasn't morally subjective, because it clearly was. But you sensationalize the facts as that is the only way to make your point. If we pull this back to earth then rape murder and dismemberment = marriage to a girl between 9 - 17 to a 50yr old man.
Morality - yes, very subjective overall .... but NOT completely. Some things are just wrong.
Anybody besides Frodo and Sae find that view to be "extremist and antagonistic"? No? Cause that's the only point I was making.
Does that look extremist to you? If not, WHY NOT???
You put yourself in a place of ridicule by using such an extreme twist on reality. We assume everything else you reason is based on such a mad point of view. Fitting for Saerules day I think.
Some things are just wrong, sure. No one is suggesting otherwise.
o noooo - Not bright red bold! Anything but THAT!
I didn't sensationalize it ... I drove the point home. And your own spinning of the facts is just as bad as my "sensationalizing" (marriage to a 9 - 17 ... nice spin)
It doesn't matter anyway. You finally agreed with me. Frodo said, QUOTE: Some things are just wrong, sure. That was my ENTIRE point. (which even Rayaan realized while you and Sae were still hurling insults at me.)
Therefore, I was right all along - morality is subjective, but only to a certain point - a LINE can be drawn. Game, Set, Match.
