Your choice but I tend to ignore arguments that are there just to name call. I don't think taking a dive to the gutter enhances your argument, no matter who it aimed at. Like many of the ways of dealing with people, how you do it will reflect more on you than them.

Aaaaah......so how about Pigmies.  Is their culture the equal to the Japanese and Chinese.....or is this just yet another boring Islam bash?


You might have to enlighten me about pygmies.

You asked me a question, I answered it and now I've turned it into another boring Islam bash? Of course it is, it's a pox. If you have something other that insinuations about my character for what I have said, now is the time. Is Islamic culture superior to Chinese, Japanese or Alaskan cultures? Which would you prefer to live in? Will you be moving to Saudia Arabia with your IB? How would your wife like living in a culture you defend?

IMHO,  Aussie, despite thinking he's a great guy is actually lower in the gutter than anyone here. A turd is a turd by any name Smiley

I don't defend Islam at all.  I argue against bigotry like...."Not all cultures are equal," and inherent to that is that some are more equal than others.

Yet, you fail to countenance that 'equality' is in the eye of the person living any particular culture.  The Chinks hate the Jap culture and resent their culture.  Are their cultures equal, Setanta?

So you think all cultures are equal? If a culture decides prisoners of war are to have their hearts torn beating from their chests to sacrifice to their gods, that's ok? We just do things differently? Since we live in a multicultural society, we should just accept it.

Gordon is now professing expertise on turds.

You'll have to put more time in post-graduate study like professor Valkie did.

Come back when you have studied turds for 17 years beating professor Valkie's 17 years of post-graduate study.

Then you will deign to talk to the uneducated about turds? Are you admitting to a professorial interest in this study of turds?

Set, people like Aussie and Greg have moral confusion.

She: What makes you think that science will ever be able to say that forcing women to wear burqas is wrong?

Me: Because I think that right and wrong are a matter of increasing or decreasing wellbeing—and it is obvious that forcing half the population to live in cloth bags, and beating or killing them if they refuse, is not a good strategy for maximizing human wellbeing.

She: But that’s only your opinion.

Me: Okay… Let’s make it even simpler. What if we found a culture that ritually blinded every third child by literally plucking out his or her eyes at birth, would you then agree that we had found a culture that was needlessly diminishing human wellbeing?

She: It would depend on why they were doing it.

Me (slowly returning my eyebrows from the back of my head): Let’s say they were doing it on the basis of religious superstition. In their scripture, God says, “Every third must walk in darkness.”

She: Then you could never say that they were wrong.

Yeas.  For just one example ~ I'd love to have lived like a pre 1770 Aboriginal.  Life was simple.

Why the Pre-European Australians? Any stone aged culture would be appropriate for your thinking.

Would you wan't your women-folk growing up in Saudi Arabia? If you would that may say more about you than me being a culturalist and despising cultures that do not offer any sort of freedom to it's people that is not kosher/halal according to a group of religious nuts.

What you are defending is an Australia ruled by the likes of Cory Bernardi,.

If I was a Saudi born and bred, I'd regard it as quite normal and anything esle, less worthy.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that is what you have not acknowledged.

I have no idea what he says about cultures.

Have you yet said whether the Jap and Chink cultures are equal?
