A prominent psychologist was once asked if there was any act so despicable, so disgusting, so horrible that the average guy would just NEVER do it.
He said: "No, I don't think there is--as long as his peers approved of it, encouraged it, and praised him for it."
What's that tellya about morality, eh?
And yet I can read the Epic of Gilgamesh and discover that I have moral common ground with people 5000 years ago. What does that say?

That's why those muslims give the highest praise and honors (not to mention promises of supernatural rewards) to suicide bombers--"martyrs," they call them.
People who praise teenagers for committing suicide are crazy.
There are many in this world, a majority, I think, whose inner voice teaches them to eschew murder, theft, and rape. They live their lives more or less according to the "golden rule". Nearly every man treats his children well.
Exceptions mount, however, when political, religious, economic, and racial considerations intervene. What's that about?

Ya done clean forgot the moral of your own damn video already, eh, Tuna? Them foke aint wack, they evil.
They're crazy evil. Unlike this guy, who is about to be executed:
There's an ancient ethical system that I came across years back that is quite compelling. It is highly refined; constructed with impeccable logic; and imbued with practical appeal. I immediately signed on, as soon as I discovered it.
