Alright homie you're doing what many here do and pick what part of a statement they want to respond to (just to be clear we're talking babies.)

If a forty year old man did that, the last thing you'd call him was moral.

I dont know, kinda sounds like Fov there, and i never though of him as immoral.

I haven't read the thread yet, but I think that morality is entirely a social construct. Humans are at a survival advantage when they're part of a society. This means makes socially acceptable behaviors a survival advantage. Murdering people is a good way to become unacceptable in your society, so is theft.

We can apply that same logic to any animal. Does that mean all animals have morals?

Social animals, yes.

Thoreau pretty much sums it up for me.

Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. So aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.
