So you think there is nothing wrong in having a preference for murder? Yes or no?

I need to find out whether I should be arguing to specific cases from general principles or vice versa.

I do not believe there is a set of correct preferences. There is no objective right or wrong.

Funny how you never quite answer the question as stated. Can you even say it is subjectively wrong?

It isn't 'funny' at all. You were trying to force someone into a lose lose morality signalling position. It is appropriate to ignore such attempts and instead state what your actual position is.

Your gambit here verges on logically rude.
