And do cannabals have the right to invade a neighboring island and eat their neighbors, even if the neighbors are disgusted by canabalism?
who's saying they have the right to do anything? no one has to stand there and let them - in their minds they think they are right in thier victims minds they arn't, thus it is not universal
​
OR, are ther universal standards as part of the purpose of our existence?
like i said cannibals think they are right the people being eatten do not
there is no universal standards

I see! You don't personally have a preference?
i'm confused by this a bit, if you mean do i think its right to eat people no i don't, but i'm not a cannibal, if i was i wouldn't think its wrong. its part of who the person is
thats why i don't there are universal standards because too much comes into play when considering right verses wrong
its all grey depending on whats at stake

Re: Try sticking to the topic Robhis very well
How in the world is this tagent relevent to the topic?
lets see some moral absolutes as per the topic, or are you unable to answer the OP that you started rob?
​
you are stating that there are moral absolutes and are unable to back them up with evidence it seems, so shift the topic around to some moral preaching instead
​
as i said before moral absolutes are impossible because too many other factors come into play for there to be, its not black and white as you seem to see everything but all grey
