In current day America, as I suspect is the case in most of the World; I separate the sociopaths and the psychopaths upon interaction. Survival is the objective.
Is torturing a child ever right? If not there must be absolute morality. However note that the fact that we all think this isn't enough to make it absolute morality. Ten years ago we were drowning in the idea that your truth is your truth and my truth is my truth. Now not so. It's therefore clear that people's opinion - no matter how unanimous - about what is and is not absolute morality cannot be trusted. The only foundation for absolute morality is if there is some form of morality which instead of being the invention of human beings sits OVER human beings - due to it being outside this world.
