[quote=Anonymous][quote]I get that you find relativism based on easygoing individual morality is appealing. However, as you mature, you will see that a shared moral framework is a communal value - one that helps society function.[/quote]

I find it cute that you think I'm some young thing.  I'm in my 50s and as I have matured, my dependence on external moral authorities/codes has lessened as I've gotten older and more mature. I've learned that my morality is something I derive from my own personal sense of ethics - it's not dictated by some external source - whether "imaginary" supernatural (theistic) - or "social" (peer group).  In fact, I'd disagree with you: individual ethics, not dependency on group approval, is a sign of maturity.

[quote]And I say this as a political liberal.[/quote]

I really highly doubt this - you are more likely a closet evangelical.  But I don't know you and can't read your mind.  What you are expressing is the fundamental conservative theological christian reasoning in defense of external locus "morality" - dogma/doctrine, bible based and top-down-authority (not liberal/libertarian) "morality".

[quote]It's one thing to advocate for people expressing their sexuality freely. It's another thing to say that that means kiddie porn is okay. [/quote]

These things are quite different - Kiddie porn - at least the stuff created using real children - is not a victimless crime.  Sexual activities between consenting adults is victimless, by definition of being consenting.  Children cannot consent.  That you can't see these distinctions is evidence of either a lack of intellect or a degree of intellectual dishonesty.

[quote]It's one thing to say your body is yours and it is no one's business how many partners you have. It's another thing to say "go out, get drunk off your ass, and screw around, regardless of whether your co-workers think you are sleazy." [/quote]

No, actually, it's not a different thing: what business is it of my co-workers who I screw around with, and how often I do it, whether or not I am drunk when I do, and what kinds of sex we have?  My co-workers business is limited to my work performance.

[quote]It surprises me that so many people are reluctant to acknowledge the difference.[/quote]

It amazes me that you utterly fail to grasp what is your business and what is not - you clearly have no sense of personal boundaries.  You also have demonstrated pretty amply your inability to reason clearly.

Now, run along back to your little pentagon prayer group.  [/quote]
