Or by the perspective of that MrBlueSky, society's morals are wrong. Society doesn't always have it right kennyc as what is considered 'moral' changes and is varied across time, location, and culture. Hmm...that's not a good use of the word "right" as it too implies correctness in a moral way.
If morality was something measurable then it would be something that had greater validity in arguments. It represents an ideal (of an individual or group at a certain time or place). What was right and wrong when you were a child (It's not fair that I don't get to stay up late like adults) can be very different when viewed from a different context (being that adult who sees the world differently).
