Its an interesting question, when to stay with being, "right" and when to compromise?

Or stated another way, when is "flexible compromise", not a virtue?

For example, lets say that I think pedophilia is evil, but that 16 yr old next door is mighty sweet. Does it matter whetehr I'm 16 yrs old or 61 yrs old? How about if she's 13 of 17 and I'm 13 or 18? Just what is pedophilia and at what point is it reasonable to compromise? How about homosexuality? Drug use? Being a Republican?

I agree with Mikemover in principle, but its really difficult to live by absolutes in real life.
