I don't like it PESONALLY.

How can you not get this through your head? There is a difference between what I personally don't like (genocide, slavery) and the concept of ABSOLUTE rights and wrongs- by which I mean an objective basis for declaring things absolutely wrong or right. If you don't get it, you don't get it. But don't tell me I say what I don't say.

I don't have a problem with slavery in a SOCIETY THAT WANTS IT- meaning I wouldn't go to war with another country over it, as I feel that would be an imposition of my values upon them- and if the case were reversed I do not like the idea of other countries declaring war on my country for reasons related to values, which differ greatly.

I do not consider ANYTHING to be absolutely wrong because I do not believe in absolutes. Or God. Or Pink Space Bunnies. But I began to suspect this whole concept is beyond your ken.
