Reply #16: the cultures are not equal.. [View All]

i get the impression that your trying to say that each culture has it pros and cons..and hence they are equal.

in my eyes...not by a long shot. Western culture may have a long ways to go in terms of equality etc but its cornerstone of liberal values does not have an equal anywhere. Cultures that are based in religion dont even compare...they must be made to take a backseat to liberal western societies.

examples of religion based cultures: saudi arabia, iran, taliban (if you want to get in to subsocieties..hebron jews-just to be pc) have little to offer a civil society on a govt level, there is little reason to be tolerent of much of their beliefs as they negate the core values of a liberal western society, which is the superior culture and the one the one that offers the most to all its citizens....no ifs, buts, or anything else that dilutes that basic aspect.
