An objective morality is a moral system in which the moral propositions are based upon objectively verifiable facts of a matter we consider to be a moral one. Moral facts of the matter.
I think that there are, or at least can be, moral facts of the matter. I don't know that anyone possesses a list (but..considering how objective morality is arrived at you don't need a list, you can take em as they come). I don;t think that morality is an issue of a preponderance of agreement, but of a preponderance of facts. When those facts are mistaken, are not..in fact, facts... then the morality does something strange* - like an honor killing.

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!
