for the record, I am a nihilist :)

is nihilism amoral? It doesn't seem that way to me...

I basically raised my children in a very behaviorist way. I let them figure out the consequences of their actions as much as possible without putting themselves in danger or violating the boundaries of others. Obviously there's some 'moralism' in there because it wasn't 'don't hit Johnny because if you do that he will hit you back and you won't like the consequences' but to a really large extent my parenting had little to do with encouraging my kids to do things or not do them because they are 'right' or 'wrong'. I wouldn't call myself a moral relativist but definitely care a lot more about consequences than about principles (which I usually think are bullshit).
