Ye I'm an Absolutist regarding many things. It's always wrong to rape, it's always wrong to endorse slavery, racism is always wrong. But yeah, as you said I'm not an Absolutist about lying. Thanks for giving me a perspective.

Absolutism is black and white thinking.

Too many people are absolutist on issues where things are not black and white. Yes there are things that are absolutely wrong or one way (like rape mentioned in the video), but there are also many things that are not so simple. You look at news and public opinions of random strangers and you will start to see what I am talking about.

I believe it's always wrong to perform FGM on a child.
