I know you trying to have a discussion with Inverse, but your use of language is fucking terrible. And perhaps you dont see the reason in engaging in this kind of thing. You are attempting to change and enlarge peoples world view.

You cannot appeal to Objective truth. An Objective truth should appeal to reasonable people because it is a fact. Universal Law(never heard of any sych phrase as Universal truth) is essentially Karma...what you do comes back to you. How you understand it is by living and learning from the lessons life deals you.

not to this human. Your hypothetical situations do not appeal to my emotions. Using reason I can see that this is merely a discussion, so why should my emotions become involved?


>>So it is not a fact that "raping babies is wrong"?


morally wrong. But how do you define those morales? emotions? desires? that was what led to the hypothetical baby being raped in the first place.

But as a defence lawyer you would be laughed out of court! The

And that is the democratic system you support? mob rule?

Logically ready? aye o.k. captain

And you may be logically ready, but you are also morally abhorent.
