As such, I try to talk and think about morality as a subjective thing. I think in this post I have done that. I don't expect everyone to have the same morality, but I disapprove of those who don't bother to think about moral questions at all, or apply some moral standard to their actions. I also disapprove of people whose morality is much laxer than mine, though I admit that's pretty much an opinion-only statement.

Ethics makes no sense without absolutes. Somehow, we know it's wrong (and not just a "cultural thing") to put out a cigar in a baby's eye and we would know that any "culture" which sanctioned that sort of thing was horrid without hiding behind the idea that it's just our view.
