Moral standards

[The Grand Nudger]

The get online and bitch about it and/or make angry signs? Really, it depends on what the disagreement is, and what part of the world we're talking about. That's far too general a question to answer. Sometimes nothing happens, sometimes something definitely does happen.

You bring up location.

Is torture for fun ok in one country and not ok in another?

And if not, what about what one might consider a lesser crime, like stealing or lying when someone has the right to the truth?

Well, I'd like to think that some things cross all kinds of boundaries, but truth be told, yeah - it's clearly been morally "okay" to torture this or that person or group of people at particular points in time or location(sometimes based upon a difference in moral frameworks-no less). That's the changing face of humanity, and our evolving "moral sense". Doesn't mean that you or I have to consider it as such (even they[the torturer]could change their minds in that regard).

There have been societies with no concept of property ownership - thus there is no "stealing" moral, immoral, amoral. Things that you and I assign a moral value to aren't always up for consideration. That's how diverse it is, it's not just different answers to a common list, the lists aren't even the same. Obviously this applies to lying, the "truth" and whatever rights you may or may not have in regards to the same.
