The Old-Fashioned Emo

Emotivism is a school of thought where morals are looked at as merely emotion, and not something that can be either true or false.

I do not think that they are merely human emotion, but they are a human creation. I think that the lines are fuzzy sometimes as to whether they are true or false. I mean, in some countries is is considered immoral to kill a cow. Yet, many people in this country kill them and eat them. Granted the eating of meat is teetering on the line of moral and immoral in the eyes of the American majority.

Laws are a reflection of our morality. Laws differ from country to country, state to state, county to county, town to town.

I guess that what I am saying is that Emotivists have a point: since morals are a human creation and differ from place to place, it is hard to say that they are true or false.

There are of course morals that are the same for everywhere, and those are accepted as facts, but what of the differing ones?
