I haven't expressed any view morals are entirely constrained by your society just that there are some very basic morals shared by different societies and countless people all over the world.
These are the very basic morals I'm talking about that provide the substance that everything else is arranged around, whether they are absolute or not I make no comment on but it cannot be denied that they appear frequently and so can be regarded as the norm.
It is this norm I am using as the default for this thread. If there is another morality you think more common that I should use as a default instead then please say so otherwise all this is serving to do is sabotage a subject I for one have rarely seen brought up.
