How is there really a difference, though? There are plenty of people who judge others based on their own values of right and wrong, and also their own tastes. Like the kind of person that says 'Wow you eat THAT stuff? You're weird!'That's not really right/wrong though, that's more taste and opinion.

Introspection tells me that this is not always true.Remember, it's been said that a child's personality is completely defined by age 4. I'd have to say that what they're told is right in their early years is what they grow up believing.

Introspection says a lot of things, and suffers from the problem that, as an investigative tool, it's quite useless...
And when anyone says that your personality is completely defined by age X, they're lying. The truth is, it's actually that, as your age increases, the harder it gets to change your personality, but it can still happen at any time.
Ow, my soon-to-be minor...

But there is a difference. Mainly in context.How is there really a difference, though? There are plenty of people who judge others based on their own values of right and wrong, and also their own tastes. Like the kind of person that says 'Wow you eat THAT stuff? You're weird!'That's not really right/wrong though, that's more taste and opinion.
"Wow, you eat THAT stuff? You're weird!"
"Wow, you just killed a family of six and make a coat from their body hair? You're weird!"
Obviously one of those doesn't sound right. Right and wrong can't really exist in a situation of basic taste and opinion, like food. Neither person in that situation you created is right or wrong. People just try to incorrectly create senses of right and wrong here. However, I think we can all agree that the murderer in situation #2 is definitely wrong. So yes, I think there is a big difference.

I can do no wrong, for I do not know what it is.
I'm almost the opposite of the personality I had when I was around that age apparently.Remember, it's been said that a child's personality is completely defined by age 4.

Up until senior year of high school I was a very introverted and serious person. I changed to become less serious. And in my freshman year of college thanks to the efforts of my college friends, damn and bless their souls, I've become almost entirely unantisocial and a much sillier person.
Personality flop.

-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

Once and a while you will meet someone that will completely change the way you think and act.
I think that a person is more malleable when they are under 4, but not set in stone. Like, Molten steel becoming hard. I can still beat it with a hammer. In a metaphorical sense.

In the end, I really think this is one of those things you really can't make here or there. It'll just be left to discussion for ages and ages.We can all agree, but that doesn't mean everyone does.

One thing to be careful of, though, is reaching conclusions like: "There's no such thing as an objective 'right' or 'wrong' -- therefore, it's wrong to force your own ideas of 'right' and 'wrong' on others." (This doesn't really follow if in fact *nothing* is objectively 'wrong'.)
Not that anyone here is making this argument--just saying, since it seems like similar arguments often get made by defenders of moral relativism.

Thanks for the random dose of randomness. It does me good.
