They taught me that if a guy apologises and catches a plane, then he loves you unconditionally and should forgive him.

Of course -- who could forget those exemplary moral relativists, the Nazis?

There's only one group of people who are "capable of anything," and it ain't moral relativists.

See this doesn't work, because a psychopath under your bed isn't scary.

Right, but, see, there's a part when you have to make a joke. That an actual moral relativist wouldn't murder people (or whatever) because she feels that murder is only wrong by subjective standards is the point of the comic; the child is too young to understand the nuance of the way in which moral relativism was presumably defined in the philosophical books he'd been reading.

Guidance counsellors are trained in the art of lying.

Erm, what if you're not a psychopath, you're just capable of ignoring consequences and morals?

Ah, so that's what was missing! I thought there was something a little off about SMBC lately.
