People can believe the following:
If I wanna lie, it's okay for me to lie, doesn't matter if you don't disagree.
If I wanna have lots of sex with women/men I don't know, doesn't mean you can't think it's immoral--doesn't matter to me, since it's right for me.
If I wanna pretend to be Captain Jack and behave like him--lie, have lots of women, booze, thieving, robbing, impersonating a priest, kidnap--well hey, if it's moral for me, it's moral for me. Don't go telling me it's wrong.
If I want to murder every blonde I see, it's okay.
If I want to get my pilot's license and a crop spraying plane and fill it with chemicals toxic to humans, say leading to blindness, and spray them over a city, hey it's MORAL if I believe it is. Doesn't matter how many people I hurt, how many people do not believe my actions are moral---there is no objective morality.
In subjective relativism whatever an individual believes--goes. There is nobody who can say their morals are faulty, are criminal, are stupid, are ignorant...nope, no judges. It's all peace, and free for all. It's all anarchy.
If this theory were followed to the letter there would be anarchy. We couldn't have cops because then we'd be enforcing laws--but you can't do that because morals are tied up in laws, in their existence--and their compliance requires a morality that says that it is good to follow social rules. If this theory were followed there would be no safety, because the society as a whole cannot imprison criminals, because that shows intolerance, which is the ONE thing this theory states that you should show. (I am going to completely ignore the possibility of total tolerance, because that goes on a tangent which I do not want to take.) What makes this society of personal morality even scarier is this: if you disagree with anothers morals, and your own morals say that it is right to defend yourself, you could go so far as to kill who was threatening you, or who you so much as perceived to be threatening you.
There are no criminals in this society. Only those who take action on their morals, in ways that offends the morals of others. Everybody is dangerous to those around them, if certain morals aren't generally accepted by the populace.
Are there some universal morals? Sure, but that doesn't mean that there aren't criminals who disobey those morals. Some people lie compulsively, others lie on serious issues sneakily, some people murder, some people kidnap, some people commit armed robbery--even when they know that in human society those are not moral actions, by and large. Society may not totally degenerate under this philosophical theory, but fear would escalate. There is nobody but yourself to defend you against those of the world who would do you harm.
This theory is not one I can support, even if I do believe that tolerance of other cultures, other personality traits, other beliefs and other morals is usually the correct course of action. Tolerance should not allow for others to be harmed--that is when it is time to step in, and shoo away tolerance, to pick it up again later. Tolerance is limited. I will not tolerate somebody using pesticide on a whole city of humans, or serial killers living next door to me and inviting my friends over for "tea".
(just to point out to anyone reading this---i like peace thank you very much. I'd never use pesticide on somebody!!!)
If I were a MythBuster and this a myth saying a society can, (or maybe even should) live like this, showing complete tolerance, and morality on an individual scale, i'd get my nice big stamp and say "BUSTED!" I do not believe society can live like this. Even if it could, I don't think I'd want to live in this society.
