Quoted: Disagree... Moral relativism has always been with mankind in the guise of cultrual relativism. Since there's more than one culture, there cannot be an absolute.
Absolutists are those numb skulls that believe that 'they'd rather be raped and killed by an attacker rather than shoot him' because 'all' life is sacred.

Moral relativism rejects the idea of absolutes, ie some things are always wrong or right.
In one sense, I would argue that moral relativism doesn't exist. Those that declare no absolutes are in fact stating what they believe as an absolute.
A bit off topic, but for example... those that encourage "diversity" only encourage the elements of "diversity" that agrees with their own absolutes. Find a liberal female that "celebrates diversity" (ie all cultures are equally valid) and ask her how she feels about female circumcision. She will hate it, thus imposing her "superior" culture" on the poor african female. Hypocrite.
We all believe in absolutes. Just which ones are what we argue about. Christians base their absolutes on the Bible, libtards on what they personally "feel" is right, muslims on the Koran, etc.
