If you mean what you say here, I'm not sure what you think the term "moral relativism" means. I think that the lack of definition is hampering your conversation with Wonk --

Wonk has already defined moral relativism and I accepted his definition. For the upteenth time moral relativism is:

rel·a·tiv·ism ( P ) Pronunciation Key (rl-t-vzm)
n. Philosophy
A theory, especially in ethics or aesthetics, that conceptions of truth and moral values are not absolute but are relative to the persons or groups holding them.

Originally posted by Secret_Agent_Man Your statement is not coherent. Moreover, think of the true pacifists you have known, (personnaly or though the media or history books) and consider whether you think they are actually moral relativists.

P.S. God told Bush to tell Clinton to tell me to say that.

I already said that Ghandi was not a moral relativist.

However, when considering most of the pacifists that I know they think they are moral relativists. My sister is one of them. The same people that like to say that we should not impose "western values" on other people are the same people that seem to believe in nonviolence. The same people that think it is abhorent to try and impose our values in Iraq are the same people that freak out over Chinas treatment of Tibet.

Originally posted by Secret_Agent_Man though I'm really not sure why Wonk started this with Penske.

Penske seems to get all the attention from the liberals. It is very difficult to get noticed around here.
