"As opposed to your head, which is up a locale that rhymes with "grass."" That is the first thing a sheep resents and covets--CLASS. "I have shown no prejudice against you because of your age." You are just repeating what I made clear. "which is moral relativism - a dead end that gets nowhere because it goes anywhere" It is a fact that morality is relative. Only an unlettered and untravelled dunce can doubt such an obvious truism. But the fact that it is relative does not mean it is equally rational, pragmatic, or beneficial. It is such a profound ignorance which equates having a full arena of choice with the concept of indifference. Relative means simply that humans may choose between ignorance and chaos versus reason and lawful order. Humans choose! What a profound concept! And how bewildering to sheep who are incapable of free thought or free action. "That's the same old tired hedonism" Respect for self and values of accountability and responsibility have no connection to hedonism. "Owning the full responsibility of your feelings and your deeds" is NOT "tired hedonism". Is it possible for you to make a thoughtful comment rather than these wasteful and boring non sequiturs??

"because it goes anywhere..." DUH! Will you make the choice as to what you value as to what is good?! Or would you prefer a strait-jacket or a shephard's staff across your nose?! If you cannot own a thought or decide what is in the interest of life...then there are millions who will decide for you. And there are thousands of morons who will put a feed bag on you...as witless and as scared shitless as you are of fences. There are tens of thousands of religions you can suck up to. They will talk like you, act like you...and they will be just as disdainful of your ignorance as you are of their ignorance. Thousands of ABSOLUTE certainties and millions of followers!! But go do your thing. Be afraid of life. You are in the majority! APPLAUSE!! :-)
