If I am going to bring my family to a resturant and you endanger our health by smoking, it is you who are treating us like crap. You are polluting an environment that you have to share with other people.
Do you know why aminals are made to be left outdoors? It's simple. The animals are unable to behave in a mannor that follows social norms.

How am I supposed to know that you two have asthma?? Wear a sign or something.
Really, if I am in my designated "slow-suicide" area then guess what? I'm not responsible for you having an asthma attack. I am in my kennel and you came too close. If I have asthma and I'm walking down the street while you're cutting your grass should I make you stop so I don't have an attack? No because you are in your area. If I'm in mine, then anything harmful that happens to you is not my fault.
Also, the social norms bit. That changes constantly. People can't make up their minds what is or isn't acceptable.

Obviously this thread and the other thread were done in a time period too close together so they are becoming mixed. So I'll try to get back to the OP.
I more closely agree with what Hal said. I find the whole idea of morality a bit off kilter. Morality is unique with each individual. You may think its amoral to have premarital sex. I say good, more for me. There can be no absolute in morality and when you try to impose some sort of absolute in this realm, you're left with nothing but drones.
