don't think this is fair - the quiz appears to've interpreted my statements that I'd be bothered to see a man screwing a frozen chicken or siblings having sex as expressions of moral disapproval. I'm quite capable of being repulsed by something without making any judgement whatsoever to its morality.

Last conformist- I agree with that.

I scored .1, .0, .0... and the thing questioned whether I was thinking right about morality just because I stated that i would be disturbed if someone was doing __X__... but it's not as if I would take any action- it's his private choice, doesn't harm anyone. It may be disgusting but I don't honestly care.

Reference what ARO said, ritualistic cannibalism is not only commen, but in most cases it is considered to be honoring the dead. In all cases I know of, when Christian Europeans came upon that practice, they labeled the individuals as savages, evil, degenerate et al (or is that eat all ) and made the practice illegal. Their excuse was that is was a case of their views on morality were universal, and therefore they had the right to interfere and correct the immoral acts of the savages. I suspect that is why I got an interference rating of zero, history is replete with cases where things like this happened, even when the so-called moral individuals were engaged in pretty horrific acts. As a measure of whether somebody is being a hippocrit - "But that's different." My gold standard.
