OK, this is fair in the case of a morality issue having the possibility of being persuasive. In the case of instrumental rather than terminal values, for example, when terminal values are the same. But when moral values are just different, there is no persuading that can be done. Aside from persuasion along the lines I made in my post.
I think moral norms can be rearranged on the basis of rational norms.
What do you mean? (I'm not sure what is meant by 'rearranged' or 'rational norm'.)
"if you are in favour of X, then to be consistent [rational norm], you should be in favour of Y"
Ah, OK, the sentence makes sense to me now.
