Well I think a rapist would say they rape because they enjoy it, who determines whether that is enough justification or not?

Quote: And I am not saying anything is absolutely wrong. Is this action worth the damage? No? Don't do it. It's not even about right/wrong for me personally, so much as is there a good reason to do *insert action here*?

I am just not sure where these rules you keep appealing to come from, for instance where does the rule that a particular action must be worth the damage come from? What if someone doesn’t care whether it’s worth the damage or not?

Societies determine this all the time, as do the courts, etc. Oh, and myself. And everyone. Some places/people will buy that sort of thing, others will not. We all make a judgement upon these things.

And I don't understand what you mean about these rules I am appealing to. That last bit is my approach to these sort of issues of morality.
