Morals are deeply personal. They are customized to ones self. I wouldn't let you influence my morals in the SLIGHTEST and I would expect you to tell me to shove it if i tried to impose on you.

We live in society. No one person can decide morality ultimately, because his or her decision will impinge upon the rights and liberties of others. That is why we have a collective morality, called law, to mediate between people who have crossed each others' boundaries, or to punish someone who has crossed into another's unbidden.

You have to decide what your own morals are. It's not up to anyone else but yourself. Granted some peoples morals are a little messed up, but it still doesnt give anyone the right to change them.

Of course not you know we should just get rid of all laws because laws are a judgement on morality and who needs to be judged on their morality? We should just have a system where people do whatever the hell they want. I don't think we should judge a person. But I do think that if there is no societal morality or no laws then our entire system would break down around us.

I have always believed that you couldn't legislate morality, I've been proven wrong a couple of times....
