I may not agree with how they see things, but just like everything else, morals are man-made opinions, not facts, so questioning them will get you nowhere (or flamed by some).
That's all I'm saying on this because, frankly, I'm tired of the boards degenerating into flame wars over who's right and who's wrong. No one here is either-- they just believe differently.

That's silly. You have to be able to question the right and wrong of cultures. If we couldn't how could we criticize the holocaust, or 9/11, because they're cultures found it acceptable to kill the Jews or kill Americans? I find while cultural relativism is interesting but its lack of ability to seek some objective morals between cultures is just plain wrong.
Child Porn exploits children and I could use logic and reason to argue against its practice. This can be different than manga which it is just drawing and you'd have to serious consider if anyone is getting hurt or if it leads to people exploiting children in RL. A much difficult question either way. I find the quest to find some truth is important and just saying we believe differently is a plain cop-out which only leads to the degradation of society in the long run.
