I'm a Psych major, so defining terms is very important, cause if you don't, it leads to confusion.
If that isn't your definition, please share what IS your definition?

lindsey,
what other definition of amoral are you aware of than "having no morals"?
for context, you might look at the original thread wherein this statement was first made toward "the amoral left" (on the topic of vindictiveness, one ought to peruse that gold nugget statement from a "fellow" TFPer).
Here's the link to the original thread, and at least the operational definition the person was employing:
Quote:
They believe that any form of morality is wrong, and seek to eliminate the right for people to have absolute morality.
