But what if you're different? If you hate getting backrubs, should you refuse to rub someone elses back out of fear they'll rub yours?

Yup, that's definitely morality to think that torturing a kitten is nonsensical and disliking it strongly. I think maybe it's because you're not really using words to understand morality, so it's difficult to use words to explain why you object to something like that.

There was a story a while back in my local area of two young men who repeatedly ran over a young kitten with their bicycles on a train station. For no reason. By the end of their torture, the kitten had several broken bones and internal bleeding, and crept off onto the tracks.


Could you get their addresses, please?
