Post-modernism is a philosophical term.
Basically as I understand things from a philosophical stand point its the rejection of the notion of a grand narrative and the intoduction of relativity. In a sense is doesn't define any particular way of think but is an umbrella term for many different views.
As whether morality was relative or not it seemed pertinent to include it.
Mordernism was the term used to describe the current political/artisitc/philosophical movements essentially in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Since the early 20th century the introduction of relativity has led to it being termed post-modern.
So thats what I mean when I refer to a post-modern era.
Clear as mud?

like i said, you are now saying morality is based on opinion. This was the very same thing that was said earlier in this thread, and you replied with

Actually i'm saying it's based on perceived Facts.
ok, so:
i come from a culture that has ritual cannibalism as a part of its morla code.
you come from a society that doesnt.
Which moral code is correct according to your "perceived Facts"?

We have a legal system that, like it or not, is largely based on a moral code.
No matter how much you want to argue about the relativity of morality you sometimes have to come down to deciding whether you are happy to live in a society with rules or not.
If you are then you would expect that people who set rules such as ministerial codes of conduct would actually apply them.

Could you vote Liberal when Labor has a candidate of the calibre of Kate Lundy??? Not many can say that are seriously lusting after their local member, but Kate Lundy is seriously fine, and looking sexier everytime I see her. The Liberals could bring in Elle McPherson I still wouldn't vote against Kate.

Both moral codes are based on cultural attitudes as well as the facts of the culture.They are both right for their cultures.

I dont think Elle McPherson would have anything to do with the libs.

and it has to be said there aren't many parliamentarians that anyone would lust after. Tanya Plibersek is doing great work as well.

And Sophie P isnt bad either.Pity she's a Lib.
You can't be serious.
so, they are actually based on opinions, right?
There can be no abosolute morality if each culture can have different ideas on what is "moral".
