Similarly, when they remark on the subjectivity of moral propositions they're not contending that their every moral position is, just...like..an opinion, man.
I've asked a number of times of moral subjectivist, what in the subject is the basis of morality. They normally dodge and change the subject (I don't believe that I have yet had anyone answer). Often when talking about something that is subjective, it is just a matter of preference or feelings. And I agree, that we have different opinions on what is moral, the same as their may be different opinions on some matters of science. That doesn't make either subjective though. And we do have rules that are not moral, but a matter of social convention. It doesn't make morals subjective. It seems that people want to go into moral grey areas in these discussions, rather than focusing on what is obviously immoral. Our knowledge or understanding of something doesn't make it subjective and this is just a red herring. If something is subjective, then I don't think that it is a moral truth, but rather something else.
