Your argument tries to set a trap for anyone responding, by forcing a debate on moral relativism.

So, let me counter with this question: If we presuppose we can't label anything "bad" without settling that debate, then is murder "bad"?

If you think murder cannot be defined as "bad", then why have we outlawed it?

True.

The original comment has already been downvoted and is on its way to becoming invisible, so I see no point in having the debate.

[EDIT]

Or for that matter, I don't see the point of taking any unpopular position on HN.
