Did you see the question that prompted Godzilla's? My favorite parts were when the asker refered to "most" American women as "skanks" and then told another responder that she was "as used as a bucket". I have a good idea of what his definition is, and I'm guessing his criteria, along with other things, is pretty narrow.
Virtue has it's biblical definitions, but it's still too subjective to me.

The world lacks virtuous people these days. Everyone is only concerned about themselves and they will do whatever it takes to get ahead, regardless of the moral and ethical obstacles thrown in their way.

They say what they mean, instead of meaning what they say.
Most of us mean what we say, therefore have nothing to live for, nothing to die for, nothing to say. No integrity, no value to anyone, especially no value to themeslves, all they want is comfort and safety to simply exists like a fat blob in front of a computer screen, angry at everyone else.

someone who is not morally and ethically corrupt- I'm not sure that's what it really means but that's waht I think it means so that's what matters to me

sorry... I ain't touchin' this one- "virtue" is as much an opinion to me as "good".
