Moral Relativism and Hollywood

I've posted a video below of a perfect example of moral relativism. Moral relativism is the world view that right and wrong are not objective, but rather subjective depending on your point of view. As I've written in the past, the most popular slogan of the moral relativist these days when talking about terrorism is "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter". You see how it works? Murder isn't always wrong, it just depends on your perspective.

Maybe you've read in the news lately how Hollywood film maker Roman Polanski was arrested in Switzerland and is awaiting extradition to the US. in 1977 Polanski plead guilty to the charges of statutory rape and sodomy of a 13 year old girl. Polanski brought the girl to his home where he drugged her by giving her a Quaalude and some campaign and then had sex with her including sodomizing her. He plead guilty to this. BUT, before he was sentenced he fled the country and has been living abroad ever since. I won't go into all of the attempts by the US to get him back, but finally he was arrested and is now in Switzerland awaiting extradition. Good, right?

Well you would never know it if you paid attention to Hollywood. The LA Times front page story never mentions he plead guilty to the charge, but rather states over and over how he was only "accused" of the crime. Other film makes and movie types can now be seen wearing "Free Polanski" tags on their shirts. The most disgusting of conversations came from the mouth of Whoopi Goldberg, and upon hearing it made me write this article.

I am dumbfounded at how we think! When will this stop? Listen to Ms. Goldberg try and assert the argument that, well, it's not "rape-rape". WHAT!!? Also listen to how she says, that in many other countries young girls are not looked upon in the same way we do here and times are changing. If I were in that audience I would have exploded!!
