Brothers, Separated at Birth (moral subjectivity) 03-12-2012, 05:45 AM

NOTE: Please read the whole thread, there's a point to all this.
There are two people: Person A and person B.
They are both born and brought to life by the same parents, they are brothers/sisters.
At birth, circumstances led them both to separate. Person A ended up being at a location where killing and Darwin's "Survival of the Fittest" took place. Person B ended up in a location where good habits and "good boy" behaviors are being taught.
Person A is taught to murder, fight, steal, etc. While Person B is taught to help, feed the needy, donate, get good grades, etc.
The people that raised Person A used his separation from his parents against him, by convincing him that his biological parents purposely left him. Person A wanted to find his biological parents, and so he used the lie as fuel to enrage him, and make him seek revenge for his parents.
Person B was raised to believe that his parents are still looking for him and that one day they will be reunited. So Person B set out to on a quest to find his Biological parents.
Now, Person A and Person B both have contradicting views upon life: One sets to find and love his parents, while the other seeks revenge.
If Person A finds his brother, Person B, they will debate upon who is right, without any evidence to back up their claims, only the assumptions that their guardians induced upon them.
Person A will declare Person B immoral and vice-versa. Now, let's assume that the original biological parents are now dead, there is no way to seal this debate. Therefore, there will be a 50 - 50 chance on one of them being deemed as immoral, and that chance has no way to be fully settled.
And thus, morality is subjective.
