You know politicophile, I'm pretty impressed with all the big words you've used. And just because you can use thoes word in the right place and at the right time doesn't mean people actually care about what you have to say.

I don't really consider myself to be easily offended, but this post is rather uncalled for, don't you think?
Although I doubt we'll never be certain, I imagine if anyone other than a moderator had posted this, it would have been edited and done away with - accompanied by either a warning or at the very least a PM to the poster...
I'm all for people discussing things and having opposing viewpoints, but attacking the OP like this is ridiculous. I mean, obviously, with the viewpoint he has he
MUST HAVE either had a disfunctional family life or been molested by his sister. And, of course, we should be very proud that the idiot -especially because of how he was raised - since we're so shocked that he can use big words.... (note the sarcasm, please)
As far as the original post is concerned, personally, I disagree. I believe that morality is a completely gray area - and although most people - myself included - do make moral judgements on others, we should keep in mind that our "morality" is based solely on our environment and our own life experiences. We can argue what is right and wrong till we are blue in the face, but at the end of the day our words don't hold water.
Rape, Murder, Assault? Terrible. How about cannibalism? Is that also wrong? Is it up to anyone other than those cannibalizing others to decide? What if it's their religion, their tradition, their heritage. The only way of life that they know? Who am I to decide what is "moral" for someone I've never met, whose culture I've never experienced, whose life I've never lived?
My point is, I feel that Murder, Rape, and Assaulting others is "Morally wrong" - but I also understand, and accept, that my morals don't apply to anyone else other than me. It's a good thing that I live in a country that shares the majority of my morals, but if I was traveling abroad and stumbled into an area where something I believed was morally wrong was socially acceptable there, I certainly wouldn't feel offended or think that the society as a whole were morally bankrupt or less of a people...
