But no one has NO morals...that would make the word merely an insult flung about with no actual thought behind it...Which could be the case, I suppose, but I wanted a definition that was actually applicable.
And amoral means no morals, but that could merely be "no morals in the sense that I understand them," which is the same as "different morals from myself." So there.
