I have no morals.
2005-02-03 10:36 pm

A perfect explanation of why I describe myself as having ethics but not morals, from the Oxford American Thesaurus of Current English:

"You can be an ethical person without necessarily being a moral one, since ethical implies conformity with a code of fair and honest behavior, particularly in business or a profession, while moral refers to generally accepted standards of goodness and rightness in character and conduct - especially sexual conduct."
