Sorry robin but I still don't see the conflict. Where is there any conflict between those two statements? Of course I can judge someone elses morals. But I also don't expect them to live by my moral code™.
And what is it with you quotemining without providing the links to the posts where they originate? What is your need to hide the content and context of what folk say?
How come you do not include links or even the rest of the piece you did quotemine?
For example in
Message 290 I said:
You are wrong though in saying that just because morals might be personal I cannot judge someone elses morals. Of course I can. {next section left out by Robin} I can't really imagine where it might come up unless something in the other persons moral system negatively impacted me.
And where do you get the idea that I some rule about not judging?
This just keeps getting funnier.
What I have said is the moral systems are societal or personal. As long as your moral system does not negatively impact me then it is none of my business. Society will have some other set of morals and the society will enforce those for all.
But we all judge. Judging is part of life. I just don't judge other folks personal moral set unless it somehow has a negative affect that I see as big enough to make me take some action.
As to the morality of what you did at the VA hospital, why would I even care if it was moral or not? Honestly I really don't care if it was moral or immoral, it was just a great opportunity you missed. Your loss. That's about it.
Wanna sing another verse of Poor Little Petunia?
That goes into some detail of when I would judge someones morals. That is entirely different than my expecting them to live by my morals.
