What does that even mean? You are either not reading my posts carefully enough or you do not understand.

If something is not factual, then there is nothing to DECIPHER opinions against it and deem it right or wrong.
You could ask them why they think something is wrong, -and they'll tell you.   

If OM does not exist, then it is not wrong. To still claim it is wrong, you are admitting from suffering from an illusion.

Honestly it is not hard. Basic logic.

Quote:By saying something is subjective, then you are admitting there are no facts about it, hence effectively nothing to decipher statements against it as right or wrong.
Factually wrong, again.

Is it a fact that Jessica Alba is betting looking than Lucy Liu?

If this question was asked in an exam, what would be the correct answer?

What is child rape then champ?

-Jumping the gun, lol?  Would it be made better if you married the child?  

Let me ask you this..is that why -you- think child rape is bad?  Because it's sex outside of marriage.  That's what makes it bad?

No. Because you are harming a child. It is a FACT that it is wrong in harming a child or anyone for fun.

This just seems obvious to me and to anyone else.

You then have to ask....

Is it a FACT that it is wrong or is it just undesirable that it is wrong?

If its not a fact yet i claim it is still wrong, then i will admit i am sufferring from a delusion.

If it is a fact, then i have to explore the grounding of this fact.

Just because you dont like something or like doesnt make that thing you like or dislike a fact.
