That is a theist phrase, and one beloved of conformists everywhere .. everybody knows that.

conformity is part of life. and yeah, everybody knows that NYC is on the East Coast of the USA. eek!! don't stifle my individuality!!!!!!!!!

so people don't collectively conform to morals or laws?

individuality is just a modern buzz term. as if people in all cultures gave a damn about "individuality". don't conflate a modern value as an absolute virtue.

Also, as an additional point, I generally don't see the need for social niceness. I can be a bit of a bastard in public lol...

I think this for the following reasons:

- Most are flippant and only exercise social niceness when it suits them. If others can do it, then so can I. for example, i will be nice to some in public (women in their 30s and above) and bastards to others (teenagers and young people). such is life, is it not?

- our contemporary society is based on equal rights and non-privelege. i don't see why i hold a "superior" obligation to be "nice", when anybody with half a brain knows that humans seldom are such.

My mother is a very kind person. My father is an idiot (read catholic)

I have learned my morals from my mother and how not to do it from my father.

RE: Anecdotes about the shape of your morality
The shape of my morality is a beautiful asymmetrical purple butterfly BEING STRUCK BY PURPLE LIGHTNING, the origin of the concentric columns of amethyst flame tentacles reaching out across space, time, dimensions, and parallels, ever reaching around, but never touching other souls, as it breathes oceans of mystery and canyons of carved faith into the surface of a restless sun.

...

Oops, wrong thread, I guess.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
