Sure, but they are more abstract. I believe that murder is wrong (but that applies to my concept of murder which may vary from yours; I do not interpret capital punishment to be murder, for example). I believe that forced sexual intercourse is wrong regardless of gender or age (this would include prison rape, date rape, and marriage rape, among others, regardless of the ages of those involved). There are very few that I would hold as universal absolutes. Things like ages of consent for sexual activity and what is permissible between consenting adults, etc. are up to each culture to determine for itself. Whether or not I agree with them isn't really relevant unless I choose to visit those places. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
