For number 2, it's really not the same as any perception. For example, it's not the same as how you see the color brown. And it's not the same how you read a sentence and derive it's meaning.
Let me give you the textbook definition of the position..so you can appreciate the irony in your "nuh-uh" response.
A moral realist is a person who holds the position that moral statements purport to report facts, and insomuch as a moral statement gets those facts right, it is true.
Quote:As for 1, it's written somewhere, so again, is it by genetics in your brain or what?-again, facts aren't made facts for having been "written". Not even in the pointlessly equivocative way that you're using the term.
You asked a question, you got the moral realists answer. Do you deny that moral statements purport to report facts, or that if a moral statement got those facts right..it would be true?
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!
