Does this question not itself assume a premise?

text; shootah March 12 2011, 17:13:01 UTC

It assumes the two sides exist, but that some believe in middle ground.

Grey morals.

text caligisti March 13 2011, 04:51:05 UTC

Morality is an abstract concept defined semantically according to human needs. Should one wish to assign complications to the word, they will do so.

Re: text shootah March 13 2011, 07:15:26 UTC

So it is simply human nature to be complicated?

There are good people and bad people.

I want to know what "grey areas" of morality are like.

oh man, is this one of those questions?

text shootah March 12 2011, 17:14:13 UTC

Maybe it is. You mean a question with no definite answer?

text dorkways March 13 2011, 12:06:13 UTC

yeah, so people argue over them and stuff.

Truth has many forms. And they are different to everyone.

No, I don't think so. [despite his assertion he sounds uncertain] I mean - surely something like 'morality' is too complex to describe in terms of black and white?

voice shootah March 12 2011, 17:15:01 UTC

People have good intentions and some people have evil ones.

What is the middle ground?

bloodaholic March 12 2011, 17:20:52 UTC

It's just - it's not that simple! Things don't fit in to neat little categories like that... [an unhappy pause, and then defensively:] And - and anyway, who's to judge what's good and what's evil?

shootah March 12 2011, 17:22:15 UTC

Good and bad people are usually identifiable as such.

this again?

While things would be neater and more precise if it were like that, unfortunately it isn't sufficient to think in those terms.

text; shootah March 12 2011, 17:17:55 UTC

Many seem to agree with you after all.

text; grimreaping March 12 2011, 19:20:51 UTC

That's a relief.

text; shootah March 12 2011, 20:20:04 UTC

I did not think the answer would be clear cut.
