Did you give up?
Some moral codes are automatic within us (don't require thinking about). The obvious one being 'murder is wrong.' Although automatic, like walking, it still requires learning at some early stage in our lives. (When it becomes part of our core morality).

If you have to 'learn' it then it's not automatic.

Originally posted by FetchmyjunkNo, I did not say that. (Blimey, i've said that to you a few times).

Did you learn to walk? Is walking now automatic?
If you hadn't learned to walk, would walking now be automatic?
Sheesh.
