Crosmando: Nope, it's a sign of a very primitive and undeveloped legal system. Focusing on moral absolutes causes nothing but damage to human society. Instead focus on what is advanced in a society, and what is primitive, and actually try to improve it.
At one stage every country in Europe would of thought stoning a women for adultery was the height of "objective morality", it was absolutely the "right" thing to do. But today it's not, because society has advanced.
The key is not thinking with emotions, but by looking at things as they actually exist.
Arent you just tied "legal systems" to this "objective morality"? The more "advanced" morality is - the more "developed" legal system are. Or i missed something?At one stage every country in Europe would of thought stoning a women for adultery was the height of "objective morality", it was absolutely the "right" thing to do.
