I've struggled with this thread a bit because I resist the notion that virtue is imposed from outside, from a god, peer pressure, or other societal constructs. Like most things in my life, I give a big FU to other people's notions of how to behave.
When I act virtuously, it's because I want to live with myself and the consequences of my own actions.
