I'm a moral realist. I am one of those guys who draws the analogy with health. We don't need to know exactly what health is, or at least not everyone has to agree on the term, for us to know that some things are definitely very bad for us and some things are definitely very good for us. I feel the same way about morality: We don't need to know exactly what morality is, or at least not everyone has to agree on the term, for us to know that some things are definitely very immoral and some things are definitely very moral.

As for jokes.... to quote Rik Mayall: "What does a man with a two foot cock have for breakfast? Well this morning I had a boiled egg."
