Hey guys sorry, I have been away from the computer for a few days.

Its nice to know that you are talking to me.
At first I thought it was just ethically wrong but that really never bothered me because rules change and are not always correct. Now I believe after reading over 20 different dictionary’s that it is in fact Morally wrong.
And yes I think I would be talking about personal ethics thanks for pointing that out.

I think we have the definition of Morality wrong. I thought that it meant absolute right and wrong but it doesn’t.
This is just an example of Morality taken from Dictionary.com. I have read 20 or more Dictionary’s and they all say something similar to this.
1. The quality of being in accord with standards of right or good conduct.
2. A system of ideas of right and wrong conduct: religious morality; Christian morality.
3. Virtuous conduct.
4. A rule or lesson in moral conduct.
Morality is a word made by man to describe rules that they have set according to what they believe is the right way to live. E.g. Religion, Government and the General Population.
I think morality is the wrong word to use in this post because I believe that it does change depending on what others think.
On to the second part of your post. If the general population does not decide on what is right and wrong then who does. You can not possible say that each individual decides for them self. Many people do terrible things thinking that they have done nothing wrong. The morality that you have described does not exist unless you believe that there is a god and he has set rules that we must follow. The problem is that know one on this earth truly knows what is right and what is wrong as an absolute. They know what they believe to be right and wrong but that is different. Because of this the only way for Morality to actually work is for a general population of people to say “hey you can’t do that”.
I think a lot of people read the heading of this post and think ok we are talking about if Bestiality is right according to the rules of the universe, or some other thing like that. That is not really what morality is.
