Default Re: Moral relativity

[ QUOTE ]

Morals are defined by the society you live in. There is no absolute standard that they follow. Most have developed in a particular society to be beneficial for the common good. When one society's morals differ enough from another's, war sometimes breaks out.

[/ QUOTE ]

Add "All" as the first word for emphasis, and QFT.

The problem with the OP is that the answer can really never be "yes", even though I voted yes. The gotcha on the yes side is that a "valid moral system" that lives within and depends on a society that has a different "valid moral system" is rendered invalid by that dependency.
