There is such a thing as objective morality, in which no one can impose their subjective view upon. I was simply using the tree falling as a metaphor for wrong-doing, and if anyone thinks it isn't wrong, is it still wrong? Yes, it is still wrong whether a society or an individual thinks it isn't.
I realize what you are talking about, I'm simply pointing out that your position is baseless. You haven't given any arguments as to why we should believe that "there is such a thing as objective morality". You haven't justified you position. Further, morality is a mental phenomenon, not a physical one, thereby making it more likely to be subjective. As for your metaphor, its an invalid demonstration for the existence of objective morality. The question presumes the existence of such a thing as "sound", the same way your argument assumes such a thing as "objective morality".
