Morals only change with two things: people and circumstances.

As far as people are concerned, who's morals are we talking about? Things in america may not be as moral as in other places or to different people. And vise versa. Because there are so many different people, cultures, religions, and views, morality is subjective.

And with the cicumstances think of this, i kill someone, straight out stab-in-the-face murder. unmoral? yes it is. But lets say it was self defence, lets say in this situation and this situation alone, that killing was the best way for me to defend myself or others. unmoral? i think not.

oh, and with time, different time, different people.
