How did you (or the ubiquitous they) manage to escape your own heads, firstly, and then how did you manage to bore into the head of this other person to live by their morality - and if any of this seems absurd to you...that's because it is...and precisely why we have no choice but to live our lives by our own "personal morality".
Quote:Isn't this like singling out 10 drunk persons lying in a street, and arresting only one on an arbitrary basis?Sure, just like it, except that afaik - no one here is a cop, there aren't ten drunks, no streets exist on this forum- and no one's being arrested, for any reason..arbitrary or otherwise.
