Yes, isn't it great :-)
>Maybe everything else is relative apart from that statement.
But why should there be only one exception?
(It is okay, there is a better proof)>To say morals are relative is also an oxymoron.
I guess you would only be able to say 'my morals are relative' or 'morality is relative to me' or something like that. But that has nasty consequences that you might not want to accept.
> There exists no objective grounds to base morality on sounds better.
