  • People gotta accept the socially constructed nature of their own morals, yo.

    I've been trying to put all that comment into words for some time, because it's the sort of attitude which frustrates me when I see it in other people but it's quite hard to take the ideas against that attitude and put them into language which makes sense and isn't insensitive or alienating. So I sat down for at least an hour and honed that comment to distract me from a mildly painful girl-who-I-was-dating-for-a-few-weeks-and-really-quite-liked-has-a-new-boyfriend-who-isn't-me sort of problem. And it took a lot of honing; the first time I wrote it, the example was twice as long and about dying frogs and lizards and God only knows what else was going on.

    I suppose I've avoided answering the OP's question with "no", because even though "no" is the logical conclusion of what I'm saying it's the same answer that's representative of the attitude neither of us like.

    But yeah, thank you. And welcome back to IIN :)
