ORIGINAL: steviemichael i agree Rape is Rape ! and if that is correct then isint it also correct what is Right is Right and what is wrong is wrong. But to another can use the word unacceptable to change what IS in their moral framwork . A situation can change its status. Lets say I'm at a bar and a heated exchange occurs. Killing the other man is wrong... Unless he pulls a gun on me. In one moment, killing would be wrong. The next, killing would not be wrong. If any element of a scene (here meaning any occurrence in life) changes, no matter how small, one must reassess the parameters. Changes are normally small and have no net effect, but a working mind accounts for them anyways. If in the bar example, the new fact that he called my mother a whore was added, killing is still wrong. At any EXACT moment, with certain FROZEN parameters, something is either right or not right. There is no middle ground. It is either wrong or not wrong, and either acceptable or not acceptable. Once the smallest thing is changed, we're discussing a whole new second situation. Another way to look at it. Freeze a moment in time. At that instant, you know certain facts, have a certain upbringing, are in a certain situation. Combine them all and you get a feel for what you can and cannot accept. Another thought... People use the word "unacceptable" a little loosely. Sometimes they say it when they REALLY mean "undesirable". Being strict about the word, "unacceptable" means "I will not accept the terms of this deal. If my choices are continue or die, kill me." (To be less dramatic, feel free to replace "or die" with "or walk away."
