What makes speeding on the highway better then laughing at a road accident on TV(and boy I have laughed)?
What make using mobile phone hand-free kit better then talking with the bus driver while he is driving, despite the fact that hand-free kit is more dangerous.
What makes birth fatality treatment for a 45 year old, better then spanking a child for being naughty?
What makes two Aspies having a child together better then an aspie being trying to be less of a nice guy to get farther in life.
What makes buying pirate DVD better then having mobile phone ringtones with swearing on it. (Don’t think I have tried this it because it would affect my image)
What makes hacking into unsecured US military computer system worse then second-degree murder?

It is the unwritten laws of selective morality where some behaviours and acts some harmful acts can be more acceptable then some not so serious ones. Pick and choose what behaviour is acceptable and neglect ones that are not desirable.

Who sets these rules? Do the NTs set them? So many people, even the ones that I really like believe in this selective morality. Am I the only one who looks at possible Misdemeanours and compare others to it, same bad and not so bad, before being condemning the act, and possibly the person with it as bad, ignorant or evil.

Selective morality not true morality and it is neither scientific. I will we more then happy to break these selective morality laws for my own gain anyway of the weak. Saying that, to be a little bit more like an NT, will pretend that I believe in the laws of selective morality but I will not be happy about it though.

The ones that don't involve actually hurting anyone or posing a real danger to anyone are obviously not immoral (e.g., "two Aspies having a child together"). Some of the things you mentioned may be illegal while not necessarily being immoral (e.g., "hacking into [an] unsecured US military system"). Second-degree murder, by the way, is obviously much worse than hacking into a U.S. military system.

I'd write more, but I have to leave for class in a minute or two.

I don't know who sets them, but a lot of things don't make too much sense.

Did you know that in the US having even a small amount of pot will get you into more trouble than if you had a large quantity of heroin? Which is the lesser of the two evils here, really?
