Believe it or not, I'm not saying "pretty damn sure" for your benefit. I have thought at length about ethics (ie. How can I know what is right and wrong?). I have very developed thoughts on the matter. Even with developed thinking my conclusions might still be wrong, but I am not delivering "off the cuff" responses to refute you. I do not make ethical statements that are grounded in absolutes. Period. I use REASON. I don't think you disagree with me. In order to truly disagree, you must understand my position. The first thing you need to realize when trying to understand my position is that I try my best to state my meaning clearly. I'm trying to get to the truth, not convince you to agree with me by any means necessary.
Dammit, man! I'm a philosopher, not a lawyer!
