Point one.
Your island does not exist, and would be impossible to create because as soon as you arrived it would contain at least one person who had "very definite ideas about right and wrong" you are simply importing your standards with you.
Point two.
You and your buddies make up your own rules, and by your own admission, they are not internally consistent, and hence illogical. I could have told you that.
Point three.
I fail to see how just having big rules helps your case, since they are still rules. I thought this island didn't need rules? The real problem however, comes in the fact that since your rules, Big or otherwise, are nothing more than arbitrary constructs, they are reduced to the level of preferences, like ice-cream. Pedophiles happen to prefer children, that's not wrong is it? Thieves prefer you to pay for their stuff, and murderers would prefer that you not live. Hey, with 50% plus one they could take over your island.
Finally.
You do think I'm wrong and your right.
Your answer was non responsive, although I do appreciate your attempts to increase our mutual understanding.
