So were Robin Hood, Gandhi and the like being immoral by subverting the law of their lands? Are we sure that law and morality are interchangeable as has been suggested or can morality sometimes exist independently of the legal framework or even sometimes in opposition to the legal framework?
Morality is subjective? There is no universal morality? That’s a lot more of a relativistic view than I would have expected from you, Mr Ubermik. I always had you down for a right and wrong, personal responsibility, meat and two veg type of chap. Still, there it is. So, by this line of reasoning, murdering people in cold blood with no particular motive except kicks is only immoral if you think it is? It’s not immoral per se? I’ll let Ian Brady know. It’ll be a weight off his mind.
At least some of your intuition is good. I’m not really a big gay. Allow me to elucidate. I posted this because I had noticed on another thread (Emmerdale Farm) that someone had claimed that gay sex was immoral and therefore shouldn’t be encouraged with depictions of gay weddings on telly. I asked why gay sex was immoral, only to be confronted with the accusation that the only reason I had asked was because, to repeat the colourful idiom, I batted from the other crease.
The originator of the Emmerdale Farm thread considered all this a diversion and off topic, so I decided to start a spin-off thread with the topic central. I considered how I might assert the true nature of my sexuality but decided that this was, to all intents and purposes given the nature of the medium, impossible. Instead, I decided that it didn’t really matter and was happy to accept the being gay bit right at the start, so as to get it out of the way.
So, the question remains: Is homosexual activity immoral in of itself and, if so, why?
Oh, and as you seem to be fond of a bit of extraneous insulting towards the end of a post, Ubermik, this is just for you: The word dullard springs to mind.

That’s right. I’m a big gay. Now, what’s immoral about it?
No.
Amazing! I stared really hard and I could see a 3D Taj Mahal!

It’s all bobbins anyway. In France, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, part of the French constitution, says “Everyone is supposed innocent until having been declared guilty.” Similarly, the code of criminal procedure declares “any suspected or prosecuted person is presumed to be innocent until their guilt has been established”.
Absolutely. Do excuse me, Dibb’s, I was smashed senseless last night. I had become a bit like the black costumed Spidey in Spiderman III. I was Darkpikey, Mr Hyde. You have my full apologies for my inelegance. If I get the chance today, I will abuse an innocent immigrant for you by way of recompense.

Indeed, a complete cunt of an idea. A bit similar to we’re full in that respect.
