Britains made more money not having a empire , and we are all fat.

  You bought Meat Pies instead of having to eat cabbage.

I have had a gun in my house for about 10 years and I have been alive for 47.  for the first 37 years I wasn't a victim.  I was never assaulted or robbed, nobody broke into my house or stole my car.

Fortunately, your turn in the random act of violence has not occurred, and I hope it doesn't.

but i have had more than my fair share of random acts of car crashes.

guess what I am trying to say is having a gun or lack of one wont guarantee that you will be or wont be a victim or violence.

Phew, fortunately I didn't argue as you state...  Read the response you quoted.

I didn't argue that true can be different for everyone.  I stated that there can be "multiple" truths, but not that everyone can necessarily have there own (and that all are different from each other).
"Multiple" truths ?.  In regards to Murder what are my choices?  or moral/immoral.?    They are absolutes how can you have multiple truths?
Truth must be absolute or your claim that murder is wrong is not absolute.
In any case were its not absolute it would not be wrong, or right. How would you know?

Are you questioning whether murder is wrong?  As in, it could be "right" instead?  Or neither right OR wrong?


Or are you simply doubting that it could be defined as "wrong" through any other avenue than a statement by a deity?
   No doubt at all, any thing can be defined as wrong. That would just make it agreed to, not necessarily wrong. Any one that did not agree to it simply would not be wrong. they would just disagree.  

If it helps at all, I'm thinking of "right" and "wrong" as more or less moral/immoral.
Where do you get wrong from?

There are no guarantees. Just the promise that if you are armed when accosted, you may have a chance at protecting yourself.

Too bad these folks did not have some sort of protection. The police did come to help though.
