Is it true that there is no absolute morality?

Because you keep making the same mistake.

No, benny. "Subjective" means "not true from every point of view; opinion rather than fact".

And before you go off on a tear about it meaning "having to do with the subject of something", that may be a valid alternative definition, but it has nothing to do with the conversation currently in hand, and it doesn't make your ramblings any less incoherent.

You're certainly trying very hard to make people think otherwise.

If that is what you have been trying to say - and you have been expressing it very poorly if it is - then you have absolutely failed to establish it.

And?
"Owl," said Rabbit shortly, "you and I have brains. The others have fluff. If there is any thinking to be done in this Forest - and when I say thinking I mean thinking - you and I must do it."
