Morals

[denny]

Thinking about one of the questions I asked in my Blunt Truth survey thing:
Do I have good morals?

How do you interpret that? I read it as "do you think I adhere to my own moral code?", but it's also possible to interpret it as "do you approve of my moral code?" or "does my moral code match that which society expects?".

Here's what I said on IRC earlier on the subject:
<denny> I happen to have a strong personal moral code... it just doesn't sync up well with what is legally or socially expected in this country.

Thoughts?

I actually answered that question from the point of view that I do believe you have morals, that they make sense to you, and that you have a strong sense of things that are immoral to you personally.
I didn't answer from a judgemental point of view, i.e. I didn't judge the validity of your morals. I certainly believe you have them, and I also believe that I'd probably agree with the reasoning and/or feelings behind most if not all of them. But that's not why I answered the way I did. (I gave you a strong yes.)
