There it is. I've been waiting for that.

Lord knows I've tried to be openminded, to be tolerant, to find common ground with people.

But this moral relativism isn't working. We're letting the indecent drag us down.

I am a decent person. It isn't difficult to recognize one of my own. Takes one to know one, you could say.

The idea that no one has the right to define morality, or that there is no morality, has always been a tool of the Communists. If you can get the masses to swallow the idea that nothing is good or evil, you can get them to accept just about anything.

You're not going to peddle that nonsense around me and get away with it.

So, which moral paradigm is acceptable by you ? You really want the government to enforce said paradigm, that's the only way it will work and it will fail. You cannot legislate morality. I mostly agree with Mossfern here.

How you expect a booming economy with superfluous government legislation. It doesn't work, the social cons tried it, continue to try it, and it fails each time.
