Is it possibly only RELATIVELY wrong to choke a bitch?
Philosophy of Religion class was today (still more like Religion of Philosophy).
We were attempting to start into arguments from morality, when this happened:
PowerPoint: "OBJECTIVE Morality vs. RELATIVE Morality:"
Obnoxious Pointlessly-Contrarian Twit: "Well it's not very objective to object to other people's culture, now it is?" <-Smirking as if this is somehow clever.
Ryan Gosling Prof', trying oh-so-hard not to bash his head against the chalkboard: "That's...not really how we're using the word 'objective' here."
And then there was yet more nattering about cultural bias and objectivity and how this guy was so much more enlightened than everyone who thinks cannibalism is wrong out of hand (kindly keep your grubby hands off anthropology, plkthx, I can barely stand your butchery of philosophy and argumentation), and I just wanted to scream across the classroom that it DOESN'T MATTER HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT KID, 1+1 IS STILL 2. Now shut up and stop being so RELATIVELY AGGRAVATING!
Dear God, punks like this are the reason people don't believe in you.
Starbucks Blond Girl is becoming more and more likable by comparison.
SBG: "I didn't hear anything you just said, I was staring at the PowerPoint. What do you mean is 'torturing babies for fun' objectively or relatively wrong? It's WRONG wrong! This is like The Hangover!"
Everybody: "...o_0." Wut?
SBG: "I mean, I couldn't even enjoy that movie, I was too busy worrying about the baby! I can't move on in class, I'm too worried about the freakin' baby!"
R.G. Prof': "Um. It's not a real baby. But that's...a good instinct to have, I think? Um. Back to the Moral Argument for God's Existence?"
Poor guy, he tries so hard.
The one good thing to come from going to class today? I got my essay back. The one I turned in a full 2 weeks late. 93%. Seems he really liked my fuzzy maths.
