    No, Did I not state that it's a slippery slope example? Meaning I know my example is an extreme to the analysis of morality suggested in the case of monogamy vs polyamory . But in using such an extreme example, I'm attempting to highlight how the concept of morality cannot be dismissed as subjective, if it is to carry any weight at all.

    Yes, one that takes another's life by force and one that doesn't hurt anybody.

    What's the problem?

    They don't have to be alright with it. I did originally keep my point to being about not judging things that didn't impact your own life.

    Some murder (war, death penalty) is considered morally acceptable.

    Thanks to all of you who have reached out to ensure my family and I are safe. Love you all! All is well at the moment, weather-wise. Sunny, but cloudy here. Florence should be hitting Friday, currently have all the important things packed up and ready to go if need be. We may ride it out because the conditions predicted for my area are less severe compared to the folks on the coast that are going to get the shit hammered out of them.

    We are expecting 30-50 mph winds, possibly up to a foot or more of rain. We are on natural high ground, very few trees, and should be ok. Im more concerned for our brothers and sisters that may be in the South Carolina area, since the've determined recently that is the path Florence may likely be heading as it gets closer to the coast.

    Everyone else that may be affected by the storm, please be safe. I will continue to contribute to the "Butt Thread" until the storm knocks the power out:)

    Ok but it's only some because people have judged there be acceptable exceptions correct?

    That's the point I was attempting to convey.

    What's the connection between love and murder? In order for it to be a slippery slope, the slope has to like, actually all be connected. So, here's an example:

    If we're allowed to drive a car...

    What's to stop us from dropping a nuclear bomb on Chicago?

    They're both actions, right?

    So yeah, odd you'd make the connection.

    Morality is subjective and laws don't legislate it.

    It's huge. There will be flooding, downed trees, loss of power, and maybe loss of water.

    There are two nuclear facilities and numerous other power plants in the path.
