I just go around pinching heads with my thumb and forefinger, and calling people flatheads.

Is that good is subjective, or that what each individual believes to be good subjective? I for one believe that there is a thing as objective truth and therefore objective good. Whether or not we as individuals truly know what those are is another thing entirely.
An interesting take. One I disagree with wholeheartedly but an interesting one nevertheless.

Granted I'm not an expert on this kind of matter (I'm still learning) but everything I have read and my own knowledge of history certainly makes it seem that everything is subjective at least to a degree.
I agree that things are subjective to a degree, but the question is to what degree? And if it is only to some X degree, than it must, to some X degree, not be subjective, and there fore objective. Thus, as far as I can see, there is objective truth.
Though I am not saying everything has an objective truth, just that objective truth does exist.

Ridiculous. You can argue this all up and down the board, but it will make little difference. All of you will objectively lose the game.

Okay, I will admit that we can confirm events did happen like a war for example or the founding of a nation and that would be objective.

If all things are subjective, the very nature of subjectivity is objectively true. One cannot be itself and its opposite at the same time. Like, one cannot lose the game and be its winner at the same time...it will just remain objectively true that all of you were never going win at any time. If I say only some things are subjective, I am agreeing to objective truth. Just the nature of the beast.

Events may be objective, but your interpretation and belief of the nature of the event is subjective.

Idealized notions may be objective, but their interpretation and implementation would be subjectively correct or not.

You folks are still going with this? All that effort and yet I continue to win regardless.
