Cool, I'm glad I've finally found someone who won't object to my hobby of boiling babies alive.

I would certainly have objection. I would just make sure my objection wasn't on the fragile grounds of moral objection. Moral objection is fragile because there is no collective or objective definition to it. Using subjective morals to object to it would be like making-up rules to a game you never asked to play with me.

Welcome to Lesswrong.

I would just make sure my objection wasn't on the fragile grounds of moral objection.

What would an example of that objection be?

(Other than: "Here is a gun,and unless you stop boiling babies I'm gonna shoot you.)
