Top 5 Immoral Acts
1. Slavery - it's the epitome of inequality and it is unfair and personally I am disgusted by anyone who thinks they can exploit a certain race or group into doing unpaid labor.
2.Rape - I don't think people should be forced to do things they don't want to do.
3.Stereotyping/Discrimination - We should live in a world free from generalized boundaries, it is wrong to try to say that people are lesser or higher because of attributes they were born with. We are all on the same line.
4.Censorship - people were born with the ability to speak and express themselves and they should be able to use it freely.
5.Blasphemy - Foolish is the man who says there is no God. Even if you don't believe in God I don't think it is right to criticize him.

Offensive Coercion - This includes any action that involves non-defensively hurting any other people, or forcing them to do something, against their will with violence or the threat of violence. For example, it includes murder, rape, slavery, battery, vandalism, etc.
Non-Coercive Exploitation - Even when there is no offensive coercion, sometimes people will profit by using persuasion to convince or help others do something stupid or self-harmful. For example, consider drug dealers who get others hooked on horrible drugs and then sell drugs to the addicts.
Shortsightedness/Addiction - These include actions that hurt oneself more in the long run even though they seem pleasurable in the short run, such as procrastination, overeating unhealthy foods, being lazy, doing too much drugs, etc.
Hate/Discompassion - Hateful and discompassionate actions probably usually stem from fear, anger and self-hatred. It often includes getting pleasure from other people's pain or wishing harm to other people.
Stereotyping/Discrimination - This includes forms of discrimination as racism, sexism, etc. It is closely related to the hate and discompassion that I just mentioned.
"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master."
I believe spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline) manifests as bravery, confidence, grace, honesty, love, and inner peace.
