Hi Joe,

I appreciate your responses but I am still having trouble with them.

Aren't these all examples of a difference in context? In one context, killing is bad, in another context, it is acceptable. Isn't that a type of social conditioning i.e. learning which context is approved by society and which is not? And don't these societal guidelines change over time i.e. at one time, society approved of genocide, now it doesn't?

>How do we determine wath is moral and immoral? Look to your heart.

And when we look into our heart, do we not then, typically, transcend our social conditioning? Isn't that how so many of us came to the realization that genocide is wrong?
 
Most things fall into the area between obviously moral and obviously immoral
because they can be good in one situation and bad in another. This makes
blanket statements only of interest to those who just want to argue about it
and create unnecessary discord.

Do you mean, for example, something like this: "The, thankfully dead, clown was a
fATnospam&king moron."?
