You see, a lot of us can see auras, and we know DAM WELL, when these people are lying, and or just flat out are a whole other kind of being altogether.
Perhaps that we can see their DNA, and their THOUGHTS, should make them and anyone else take a pause, cause they are not fooling us all.

It is obviously pedophilia and bestiality, those are the last sacred barriers of civilized society for the nihilists and atheists to lay siege to.
Reminds me of a video I ran across on YouTube recently:

I am not being sarcastic.
It is a taboo created by man.
But, there is legitimate scientific reason not to procreate in the same blood line.
Trying to make it a Moral or religious argument is where I take issue.

Morality is a common set of agreed upon standards in any society.
No it's not. Maybe you're told what values to have, but I disagree with many laws and many opinions.
That's a very vague statement and ultimately meaningless. Most people have differing morals and most poeple have disagreements with politicians and friends. It's an ill-thought out point that you've made.
And then you are in the minority of the population, and you'll find it harder to get through life.
I think that an argument could be made - and indeed I've been making it - that my values are not decided by politicians or popular opinion, so obviously I'd disagree with that point as well.
That, however, is your choice and decision.
I wonder how such a rigid conformist ended up on ATS at all, but being a moderator as well - seems a little odd to me.
If you want to disagree with the general will of the community, you can
Why would I wish to garner sympathy by playing the victim? Is that something that you do?
-- but don't expect to garner sympathy as a victim when your disagreements butt up against the accepted societal norms.
That's a patently absurd analogy - I just can't see the moral argument that you're making.
For example, lets say I run a business and I hate cash. I refuse to accept cash and deem it worthless. I refuse to do business with people if they pay in cash. I'm going to find it hard to stay in business because of that. I made the decision to make things harder on myself, so I have no room to complain when my competitors outsell and turn more of a profit.

Morals are not rules - they are perspectives.

No it's not. Maybe you're told what values to have, but I frequently disagree with laws and opinions of those around me.
Morality is a common set of agreed upon standards in any society.
Aren't most laws formed upon a moral concept?
(i.e., you cannot legislate morality)?
I could understand why you would think this is petty, but I don't.
Or is it just a nitpick?

That's okay Annee. Everybody has the right to be wrong, even you.
