I was musing recently about subjective morality, and thought of something that I found rather amusing:
“There is no such thing as right or wrong.”<br/> [ ] Right [ ] Wrong

There is no such thing as right or wrong!

Your right. Killing isn’t right or wrong and all other crimes aren’t right or wrong either. Right and wrong are just words made by humans and humans associate things with being right and wrong because they have been told these things have been right and these things have been wrong all there lives. We grow up and are made to fit in with society or we can choose to stand against it and live a life in prison or face capital punishment in some places of the world.
Theres no such thing as true freedom in this world since if you go to do something thats illegal you will be more than likely stopped from doing it. The world is f****d up like that right now and people are to brainwashed by the what they’ve been told to believe all there lives.
We are all just animals and there are no right and wrongs in this world. People don’t complain about animals killing other animals or a bird stealing another birds eggs. There are no right and wrongs and there never have been.
@Phil: There may not be right or wrong, but there’s still common good. As an admin myself, I understand why rules exist – it’s not “f****ed up” at all. Rules and laws don’t exist to protect “right” and “wrong”, they exist to protect the people they govern. Were the world lawless, as many a person is often speculating, then what exactly would happen? Some belive it’d descend into anarchy, some think it’d be a better place, but I know that human nature needs laws. If laws like “Do not murder” are erased, then people will murder to get into power and make their own, far more twisted laws. Would you rather be protected from murder or be forced to serve a tyrant? Surely the choice makes itself.
On a brighter side, I chuckled heartily at this.

Certainly seems to highlight a contradiction in ethical nihilism, but I’m not sure it says anything about subjective morality. Subjectivists and objectivists can both answer that question.
