Actually this is a great question. We should debate this more.
We just have different points of view.
You're a pussy and I'm not.

How do you determine what is moral? Is it what tradition and society say are the standards of behavior? Is it what feels right to you personally? Do you apply a universal rule to every situation to determine which action would be the "moral" one?
If we want to get all nihilistic about it then morality is artificial and doesn't exist as some sort of universal law, but something that our nature produces to cope with our integration into societies.
That's kind of my point. One needn't even get all Nihilistic. Morality is artificial. It is the result of a societal conditioning and nothing more.
It is a result of our nature, which is partly natural and genetic and partly conditioned by society. There are many universals, and just as many moralities specific to a certain culture. It is quite evident though, that they can be created on the fly.

So what gives any of it any meaning? If particular actions are varyingly considered "moral" by different societies at different times what is truly moral?
I'm high. It's the perfect time to discuss Watermark's insanely sensitive view of society.
Well, at least you can say you were on drugs when you read this bullshit tomorrow.
WM, what's your excuse?
