How can you be sure they don't hurt somebody. Fraud doesnt physically hurt anybody and is considered by many to be a victimless crime but the mental anguish caused to those affected can be terrible. |

"Intent means a lot. If no-one gets hurt but you know what you're doing is wrong regardless then to me that still counts.
But morality is very different for everyone."
But what is wrong or right, does come from your uprearing or already within us ? |

If you think they are wrong and breaking morals somehow, they will be hurting somebody. Give it time. |

Everyone has a different interpretation.
Culture and society tend to impress a lot of the major ones upon us fron an early age, but once outside of the main legal issues a lot of it is in flux depending on each person's chemistry and interpretation.
There are things that I think are absolutely wrong that others think of as no big deal, and vice versa. I doubt any two people will exactly align on the lines of all morality. |

For the specific request for an example of something that doesnt hurt anyone but is (I would say) wrong, you could try this example (not mine and not origin, but it's too late to try to identify who coined it many years ago lol). If mortuary staff play noughts and crosses on dead bodies, but then clean them, and nobody knows, I think it would be tricky to maintain that it's not morally wrong.
Aa for the broader argument that people have widely differing opinions about morality, that may be true (although some anthrolologists might disagree); but even if it is, it doesnt mean there isn't a truth. If you ask a hundred people how far they think it is from london to paris, you'd get a hundred different answers. But that doesn't mean there isn't a correct, objective truth.

So first off what's your definition of wrong?
What's your own moral code? "
3rd, what about yourself, do you not count yourself in the getting hurt part |

We decide our own moral code, which may or may not align with those of others. Society can determine what's viewed as unaccessible too, which may result in penalties.
Aim not to hatm others and treat them with respect. |

But are you into the dead bit or the chicken? Would you fuck a dead dog? |

Even if your actions don't directly hurt somebody else do they indirectly hurt another or harm the planet (for example buying unethical products)?
Or do your actions, although not harming another, harm yourself? |

It depends oh your moral compass and ultimately where your morals come from, whether you are utilitarian, religious, buddhist, believe in natural law etc. your morals will be very different
Most people would agree it’s generally wrong to steal, some think it’s always wrong to steal but many think it’s ok to have illegal TV channel sticks because it doesn’t hurt anyone. Well it does they just choose not to think about it.
Some think it’s ok to lie in some circumstances , some think every single action has a consequence!
I think some actions are wrong like telling small kids that Santa and tooth fairies exist not because they hurt them but because later on they will question your honestly and integrity |

Manifesting is real and life is whatever you make it. I teach it on the side of my job along with life coaching. So if you think that something is bad then that's what you'll experience, otherwise no because in my reality I can do say and have whatever I want and nobody can tell me otherwise.  |

You could be a vector for zoonotic transmission and start the next pandemic. So, albeit unlikely, if fucking dead chickens was morally acceptable and enough people started doing so there would be an increased risk of harm to others. |
