      That's why they're general and we do the best we can with them.

      A lot of it comes down to common sense rather than an absolute rigid adherence to any simplistic claim of principle.

      Common sense varies by societal norms and individual beliefs and judgements

      Yes, I'm advocating going with liberal, secular democracy. Do you think we differ somewhere. If so, where?

      I'm pretty sure we're both liberals... but I think tolerance extends to those who would withdraw freedom to wear painted face

      Why? You were in favour of conserving old traditions & that one harms no-one.

      Because I'm a liberal, I understand need for conservatives, but don't agree that Care/Harm is only criteria for judgement

      Thanks for telling me. I thought I used a range of them. So does the Moral Foundations test. But I'm sure you're right.

      I probably only imagine I consider anything sacred, have strong disgust instincts & strong respect for tradition.

          You just keep making v broad, general statements.If there's a good moral argument for banning Morris dancer's make-up.state it

          I'm supposedly motivated by care/harm re defending Morris Men traditions, not ppl who'd ban it cos they think it harms PoC?

          Yes, I should let things go when its clear someone is not going to make a point & back it up with anything but I keep hoping.

          Then please go away and come back when you've found words with which to make an argument. What does vague waffle achieve?

          The argument for Morris dancer's face paint being morally wrong. For goodness sake, Liam. This is pointless.

          I think we only truly consider something sacred when we are willing to fight for it. Most of us just get mildly beligerant

          Another tangential, broad point.Shld I now declare my willingness to fight for various things?Secularism? Liberalism? England?

          And will this bring us any closer to a solid argument for banning the face paint of traditional folk-dancers?
