So I guess the ball is in your court. Prove that rape and slavery are wrong.

The burden of proof in debate is quite easy to comprehend. I find it much harder to comprehend within a debate on morality, though. Sam Harris seems to make wonderful points regarding this, but I'm not quite as in tune with that argument as he is. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It's easy for anyone to say rape and slavery are wrong, but when diving into a debate on morality, it's a big big pool of messy messy word usage.

I agree. This is why I write every single day, whether I post or not, to try and see if we can't fix this sometime in the future. Sadly, I must recognize most writers never live long enough to see the change they make.
