Can you give an example of an argument which is universal?

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean, – if the answer is I can't – we probably shouldn't be framing our arguments universally, then; especially when there are relatively easy counter examples that disapprove the universality.

I would say that moral arguments against killing people aren't universal, because they don't apply in cases of self defense. Does that mean that it's okay to kill people? No. It means that in most cases killing people is wrong.
