Take those professors and hold their hand on a table. Give me a hammer and I bet they change their minds real quick.

i can understand why the professors would say that though. For there to be a fundamental right and wrong, it means that the human conscience or nature in general is governed by this unseen natural law. This sort of thing would imply the existence of a higher being that has instilled this sense of right and wrong in people.
It's a basic argument for religion

No surprise about this polls results-many of these college professors lean to the left. They love filling young minds up full of rubbish.
When respondents were given a list of business practices and asked, based on what they've been taught at college, which of the practices rank as the most important, 38 percent chose "recruiting a diverse workforce in which women and minorities are advanced and promoted. This is discrimination being promoted as something positive.
"Cultural diversity" are codewords that mean undermine America and what it stands for.

According to bush league his stock dealings weren't black and white
How many people lost money after he collected his illgotten gains
because of his insider dealings and subterfuge?
When I took accounting it was pure black and white.
Obviously his mba taught him something different.
Where's the disgusted smilie??

fist of all, how can ANYONE say that there is a black and white "right and wrong"...jesus, look at the cases that come out of the supreme court for a month...both sides are arguable, but one side wins. Most of what's right and wrong is in a grey area.
As far as that cultural diversity bullsh*t, how about these minorities actually READ the 14th Amendment...EQUAL rights, NOT special rights....

Hmmmmm.....
Think about the last time someone treated you really really badly.
Now... how do youi know they did that?
Hmmmm....
So... it seems that not only is there right and wrong... be we seem to be programmed
with the ability to determine what this is.
There are many, indisputable things, which are CLEARLY right or wrong...
to everybody... this doesn't mean that "gray areas" negate the existence
of right and wrong. It just means that gray areas are gray.
Then of course, we can always debate how to define a gray area, and if such things
really exist at all. Confusion as to whether or not my sandy-brown hair is brown, or blonde,
does not affect the FACT that is IS some color, and with proper investigation, we can
determine what that is. And even if we never agree... it is simple logic to determine that
it MUST be a color of some sort, whatever that may be. Confusion should never be "confused"
with a lack of concreteness to the things we are confused about. It is not the fault of my hair
if we are all too stupid to determine it's true color.

There are only definite rights and wrongs. "I am always right, and you, you're wrong if you disagree." That's the only absolute in morality.
The so-called grey area is when you get so many opinions gathered on one issue that you can't count votes. When you can count votes, majority rules. Essentially, "Might makes right." We can preach all we want about the power of the mind and how science and technology shape our world, but it all boils down to tipping scales. On the one hand, you get to stand up for your beliefs. On the other hand, you get to live.

I agree with the majority rules ideal, but not with the majority should have the decisions on everything. First off, this is wrong (in my opinion...one of the grey areas 
), but it would also not work. There are things to say about very controversial issues, such as "is abortion wrong?" that has no clear cut answer. In my eyes, not, but to a religious person, this could be murder of one of the highest degrees...just because a major group of people agree on something, doesn't make it right. (The bombing of the WTC is probably not only to be thought of as right, but honorable in Afghanistan, but here it's one of the bloodiest crimes this country has seen). Whats right and wrong depends on your upbringing.
