This is an interesting argument, if a person is not able to determine for themselves what is fair, how can anybody at any time determine what is fair for other people? If people are unable to determine what is fair then essentially there can be no way to set standards or definitions of fairness.

This is somewhat correct. A person can determine for itself what is fair or not but any general definition of fairness, while it can be created, doesn't have to be accepted by everyone else or anyone else. It's a strong value judgement and not objective.

that you think that your definition of fair should be what other people use is what keys me into you being arrogant
[/ QUOTE ]
Uh, what is my definition of fair? If anything, all I was saying that there is NO generally accepted definition of fairness or justice.

I don't think very many people are arguing to take away your freedom of speech to freely consult with other people to help them assess what is and what is not fair, using your own time and resources to do so.
In fact you could got take 50million out of your bank account and organize a 'fairness consultancy' organization and offer free services to whomever you choose and I don't think any anarchists are going to try to stop you from doing so.
