What happened to a sense of right and wrong? It became less culturally prescribed and in this new culture we respect an individual's opinions no matter how dumb or rationally baseless they are. People have gotten confused and now believe that respecting a person's ideas is the same thing as respecting the person. We are free to dislike a persons idea of right and wrong, we are free to argue, but most modern people refuse to be convinced of anything other then the beliefs they first held. Only within the confines of the law do our arguments have any weight. Do you seriously consider arguments you don't like or disagree with?
Why is world based on relativism? Because you are just as certain that you are just as right as the anti-semitic, white supremacist, wife beater, and cold hearted bitch are SURE they are right, and we have managed to destroy most forums where those ideas can be argued and challenged seriously. Do you listen to people opinions? Do you ever say, "Well that might be right for you." or "that might be what you 'feel'"? Do you ignore disagreements because to say things like that is just easier?
Does anyone else think that wrong is wrong no matter what? I do think some things are wrong, some things are the improper way to behave and are, no mater what the circumstances, stupid and destructive. But to answer this question best I can I offer you this little rhyme:
True wisdom knows it must comprise
Such foolishness as compromise
'Lest fools shall fail to find it wise.
Some days, we are all the fools. It isn't necessarily a bad thing that our systems let us be. Communism, tyranny, Marxism, those are the kind of systems that tried to eliminate human stupidity and rule in absolutes. God forbid. Do you ever make mistakes?
Does anyone else wish that you could still challenge people to a duel for questioning your honor and integrity? In joke? Sure. Seriously, of course not. This is an odd question placed here because it suggests that 'might makes right'. Is that really what you want, for the strongest to be always right?
What happened to chivalry? What happened to respect and admiration? Chivalry is just a fancy word assigned to kind reverence when a man offers it to a woman and certainly not the only situation where is should be given. Do you offer chivalry to your father, your male friends, girls you find unattractive or people that are mean to you?
What happened to living for justice? Justice is an ideal, as an ideal it is nearly unattainable. People get discouraged. You will get discouraged. Set smaller, realistic goals. Be friendly to one more person, don't make snap judgments, argue with a quite voice and gentle logic, keep an open mind. Do all that, everyday, and at the end of your life you might be surprised to find you have lived justly. Or are you all talk?
Why do I feel like I'm the only person who still believes in these things? Still? God man do you really think people used to ALL believe this, or even most of them? Study history, Study philosophy, even the stuff you disagree with, study religion and cults!
Asking questions is a great start but don't educate yourself with some columnists' opinions. Go Read! Go Live! This is good, but now it is time to get off your soapbox and get some more education to either backup your beliefs or prove them wrong. Why are you still sitting there?

Well, chivalry died with the knights of old whhen killing each other was honourable. When projectile weapons were invented people just gave up because they could kill folk without any pain to themselves

What happened to a sense of right and wrong? -Nothing. Most people have it, some don't because they're mentally ill.
Why is world based on relativism? -Because people have prejudices.
Does anyone else think that wrong is wrong no matter what? -No. Well, I don't. There are shades of gray, as well as grey, and also many different colors. You've made mistakes, I'm sure, and done things that are pretty bad. But you got a second chance because people make mistakes. That's just what we do.
Does anyone else wish that you could still challenge people to a duel for questioning your honor and integrity? -Sometimes. But that's what video games are for!
What happened to chivalry? -Feminism. =D
What happened to living for justice? -Bah. I don't think anybody ever did. They have the mentality that justice is always for other people, but when they commit a crime, they deserve to get away with it.
Why do I feel like I'm the only person who still believes in these things? -You are probably fed up with life and the people around you, so you cling to a fantasy world. I'm pretty sure everybody does that, you just have to know how to seperate reality from the fantasy. You can't change how everybody thinks, so it's best to just accept that and live the best way you can. Dropping the holier-than-thou attitude helps (sorry, but 'honorable' and 'honest' do share a root!).
