Right or wrong is sometimes, but not always, relative. There are objective standards of morality that the majority of people subscribe to.

- matz1 8y agoWell, I can deemed whatever that "objective standards of morality that the majority of people subscribe to" to be wrong.
- nugget 8y agoYes, you're pretty much free to do whatever you want on this earth, within the bounds of what's physically possible. Of course if society disagrees with your actions then you may be fined, imprisoned, or even killed in the case of capital punishment.
- ptero 8y agoInstead of "objective standards of morality" which may or may not exist (different countries and cultures, etc.), how about using "strong preferences of the community". That way your point still stands (as I understand it), but any discussion on morals risks getting bogged down by unrelated hot topics. It is a little vague on who is part of the community and who is not, but usually a good enough definition is easy. For a beach, maybe consider those who care and live within a day trip distance.
- matz1 8y agoI found that discussion about morality or right/wrong usually useless. Like in this case, Koshala doesn't care if you think its wrong or moraly evil.
