Is this purely my private opinion with no basis in facts of toes and murder and harm? Is this purely the product of my cultural indoctrination with no basis in facts of toes and murder and harm?
Is the killing accidental and the toe-stepping intentional? If I hit a patch of ice on the road and lose control of my car, ram into another, and kill someone, does that have the same morality as me going out of my way to step on your toes simply for shits and giggles? What if in losing control of my car I only injure you, but by stepping on your toe out of spite I cause you to fall in front of the subway train?
I have my own clear-cut morality, as you obviously do yourself. The very fact that there's difference indicates that morality is not very objective. If you want to argue that one is objectively more right than the other, you'll need to bring more than "I do think" -- which is itself an acknowledgement of subjectivity. I don't care what you think. Show me an objective basis, not your thoughts. Count the frogs already.
