did cultural relativism as you understand it allow certain cultures to judge slavery as morally acceptable ??

Thanks, more interested in which view you support.

thanks - understand the view - and what i see that option as. I would just disagree - I would say it is objectively true that slavery is morally bad. ...

it is just one to the other - i can't actually see how your caveat above is even possible - it would mean an individual would say the abolitionist and...

I, i hope obviously don't think so, but it is an option for others.

I didn't offer any conclusion - i offered different moral view options for a specific situation. I can't beg the questions if there is no conclusion t...

each as true, real, meaningful, correct, right. I am not tied to the word, it is not specifically special. Just trying to convey the concept, the idea...

Understand, so we have to make both truth and morality variable. Let me test that perception against slavery. For most, if not all, human history, man...

- thanks Jake no shock I would disagree with most, if not all of that. But none of my disagreements have any kind of a real philosophic basis - the on...

Tried, can't get there. Understand some do, I just still get to they are objectively false. Understand, disagree. Not with the explanation, but that s...

you are incapable of dialogue, because you exercise no effort in understanding the other opinion.

The point I was going for, was if there is no truth value in opinion a or b, either choice is just preference. There is no truth value that vanilla is...

Ok let me see if I can guess at one For some reason you thought I said murder or not murder is the same as vanilla or chocolate And you called that a ...

you make a claim, I challenge you to defend it, you dodge. Rinse repeat, normal interaction with you. Just stop with the tactics please.

if I thought any of that was true I would happily admit it. So take one of those, and in a complete though, that shows you actually took a second to u...

And you have yet to actually make a coherent point in opposition.

Forgot the part where no matter what the reality is, you, like trump will always declare victory.

Just to make sure I understand correctly. This means some thoughts have truth value, but thoughts about moral stances do not have truth value. If I ha...

That was my answer to s, that he has yet to answer

Interesting to counter a claim of semantics by making yet another semantic argument. None of that addressed the concept addressed and you know it. May...

6th dodge, I will be back later take your time for number 7

Have to back to real life, but that looks like having your cake and eating it to. will get back later today

You sad I said And you have not commented on this yet

5th dodge

human nature was first and this is your 4th dodge on the question

Ok, if you do not believe there are any truth statements we can make about the rightness or wrongness of murder, we just disagree. Then whatever my pe...

ok, so there is no truth, my thought is as valid on any moral subject is as good as yours?

human nature please?

No, what I am saying is there is a truth about murder being good or bad, right or wrong. We can disagree what the truth is, but it is important if bot...

no I want you to respond to the point about human nature, and not keep deflecting to ad hominem

You lack of taking any time to actually understand what people say to you before you argue back is amazing. That is exactly my point, they are not equ...

So your view of the source of the near universal commonly held belief that murder is wrong is pure biology, It is a sneeze. Do thoughts have any truth...

Instead of this, you have not responded to this yet What do you say?

I think your base point is all judgments are thought, they only exist as individual human thought. And as such have to be subjective to that person.

It is exactly the point. And they are linked. You can only have it your way if you tell me that you believe that there is no truth statement you can m...

Another non answer. No one is keeping score. Do you want to tag along with S and call it human nature?

I can just add this to the very long line of direct questions you refuse to answer. Because you have no real interest in ideas you are only concerned ...

So we all as humans, by our very nature, have some near universal moral views, but that has nothing at all to do with that being to a high degree obje...

that is a dodge or you are purposely ignorant. You know darn well it was about the commonality of some moral judgments not where our bodies came from.

as I asked terrapin, Can you briefly say what you understand my point to be, I think we are taking past each other

Ok Because I believe there are things that are true. I believe you can make a truth statement about murder. And my argument to the person above, becau...

That has nothing at all to do with my issue.

Usually in response to your ad hominem. Which is your default.

No my point was what is the origin of this commonality, is it coincidence, evolution, God, something else? Where does it come from.

No I obviously do not see the false equivalence- Can you explain it in a complete thought please.

We are taking past each other, I see nothing in this that addresses my point. Can you take a second to tell me in your words what you understand my po...

It is imperative to my point for you to try and identify why we all feel that way, and not just keep dismissing it. Why do we all feel that way ?

no issue there are many judgments people differ on. Is your point that there is no truthful answer to any of them? Even one we do not know. Or are all...

I am happy to go down any rabbit hole you want. I am not sure either you or s even understand the point I am making. And I have yet to see it addresse...

I didn't say all, I said some. It. Means your point universal does not have to mean objective
