  1. By that infantile reasoning everything is subjective and the word subjective loses all meaning. Of course "someone somewhere disagrees" is not what people mean with subjective and if it was, there wouldn't be an entire branch of philosophy called meta ethics.

  2.  @Jaylade  It's not provoking, it's childish. He's clearly completely unaware of any discourse on the topic and thinks he has perfect insight. Moreover, if anything, moral disagreements point at moral objectivity, not subjectivity. For people to disagree there has to be some objective truth to the matter. Islamists don't just say that they use the word "good" in a different way.

  4. You're totally lost in delusion if you think happiness is self interest. Happiness is impersonal. If happiness is all that matters, that's synonymous with universal love and compassion.
