Murder is wrong.

Nor does killing in self-defense, or in defense of one's country in war.

So for example in Iraq, lets say I was a soldier and killed people defending their homeland, or worse collateral innocents. You think that's justified even though I wasnt really defending the US? The US was the true aggressor there. What if I was ordered to do so?

Another example- how many times have we seen LEO involved shootings where its a very fine line between murder and not? If murder is wrong every time, how is it that police can kill to pre-emptively save other lives even though they themselves are not in danger?

Lying and deceit is wrong

So when I tell my boss that I am going to the dr office when really I am getting a better job to provide for my family, is that also absolutely wrong?

Stealing is wrong.

So if I broke into my neighbors home to steal his boat to evacuate during Katrina, is that also absolutely wrong? What about if I only stole his food, fuel, or clothes? How much/little stealing is ok?
