Some cultures are better than others ? True, False, Impossible to answer conclusively

[Dark Lord Al]

Yes of course.

[Spicoli]

I always get a kick out of someone trying to pigeon hole an entire 'culture' or boil it down to some headlines. It's a subject and definition that can very well end up like p4p subjectivity and sheer clusterfukery. It blurs into ethnicity and Nationality but can be much more about simply being a product of environment and immediate surroundings. Country or State wide etc. Just on massive numbers and global diversity, yes some are clearly 'better'. I don't eat people AND I drive on the sane side of the road so I by comparison am one awesome motherfucker .

Yes the good old English Breakfast is good , however I must warn you , you do not get a whole hog and seven dozen eggs as with an American Breakfast.

3 over easy eggs on hash browns and bacon and we're good to go. Save the beans though. Beans for breakfast would not sit well for others

So there's cultural relevance and overall goodness that can come from wife beating? Do tell!

Thought we went over this once before? No Lyle, you go immediately to an entire religion or Country (?) while in that instance I'm addressing personal experience. We are all so overly self righteous in our "never in my backyard" but I've heard and seen subtleties turning a blind eye or near condoning spousal abuse. Though it is not 'bred' in or taught, at least not directly, and those that do are shits. Simple as. I've seen wives and women beaten up close. Then I've seen said beater have his head pulled through his own arsehole and left in a heap . I'd encourage anyone witnessing such things to do the very same.

Defend the Aghori. You know, the folks who made Reza Aslan eat human brains. They cover themselves in cremated remains, and frequently dine on urine and excrement.

The floor is yours, Spicoli, find the silver lining for us and enlighten me to the wisdom of the Aghori.

The onus is on you though Lyle. It is your statement (or that of Paul Joseph Watson or some other alt right buffoon from Infowars or Breitbart that you are simply repeating parrot fashion). You have to prove why your statement is true.
Morality itself is culturally defined so if you believe that some cultures are better than others what is the arbiter that proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that your own culture's morality is the perfect absolute by which all others should be
judged ?

You have not even defined what your culture is.

Those are childish questions ask by pseudo-intellectuals with an agenda

Let's see here....my culture and how I should define it we celebrate life, we mourn death, we celebrate knowledge (book smarts & common sense), males in my culture are SUPPOSED to honor/respect/care for: females, the elderly, and children. Chivalry is seen as a positive, friends and family are celebrated in various ways, marriage is typically between 1 adult age male and 1 adult age female but same sex marriages have recently become less taboo, divorce is seen as a negative but there are justifications for it (cheating, abuse, etc) and there's no giant stigma placed on the divorcees, sharing a home or meals with friends and family is seen as a positive, it's a positive to be a good host/hostess as well as a gracious guest. We respect and honor The Constitution and the limits that places on government, punctuality is a good thing. The INDIVIDUAL is valued over the collective however it is typical for an individual (in my area) to CHOOSE to honor and respect their families, if you are insulted it is expected that you address that situation but this has morphed from DUELS with pistols to less violent and fatal forms of conflict such as vocal arguments and perhaps in some situations fisticuffs. We believe in expressing emotion within reason and we believe in the rule of law.


How long would you care for me to go on? There's a lot of this to digest, and I'm quite certain that you know full well what my culture is give or take some areas. You understand perhaps our social mores but perhaps not our folkways which wouldn't seem foreign to you. Now I personally am of the belief that when travelling you respect and honor the culture in which you find yourself and fuck, I even attempt to do that when visiting certain restaurants, for ONE example when getting Japanese food (not just sushi of course) and sake I pour for others but never myself. Sure that's a little thing, but that little thing creates an experience and one can learn from this. I never said you cannot learn or take things from other cultures....the things I don't wish to take from other cultures would be things like: cutting off the hands of thieves...sure I don't like to be stolen from but that's a little excessive no? Stoning to death of adulterers....again, a bit excessive. Calling for the death of those who do not follow your religion...again, excessive. Forcing the conversion to a religion....I'm of the belief that individuals are supposed to find their own path to God should they choose to do so.


So let's see here, I'm of Scots-Irish heritage, I consider myself I guess the best definition would be a nondenominational Christian, a mix of Classical Liberal/Libertarian politically with a dash of Nationalism, and I'm a Southerner so of course I mind my manners and expect others to do the same.


Please please, pretty please with a cherry on top now tell me why I should drink urine and eat feces as the Aghori do OR why I should NOT allow my wife outside the house without my permission or an escort who is a relative.....tell me Beanz, why should I do that? what benefit to society will that have? Why should I beat my wife if she disobeys me? Hmmm Why should I toss gays off of rooftops Beanz? Because people who keep pushing this multicultural bullshit don't fucking think about what "multiculturalism" actually means.....in Mexico the age of sexual consent is 12...I DISAGREE with that do you not? The Prophet Muhammad had a WIFE who was 6 years old Beanz....6....as in 1,2,3,4,5, FUCKING 6....is that a good thing? Is THAT positive? The Prophet Muhammad had SEVERAL wives....is THAT good? is THAT positive? In China they (the government) had the 1 child policy and allowed for sex selective abortions....is THAT good? Is THAT positive? China also had footbinding for women...tell me how brilliant of an idea that is!


"Well YOU'RE no better El Kabong....you can't PROVE that your culture is better!"


....well I can fucking try, and I believe I've pointed out some practices which ain't the best, but hey, YOU judge my judging

Dude. Seriously. How do we go from wife beating to eating brains Sometimes I think some of you are itching so much for discord or a beef nowadays that you fail to see agreement when it's right in front of you..

how's this for a silver lining seeing that you brought up the very same thing, from my original post "..yes some are clearly 'better'. I don't eat people AND I drive on the sane side of the road so I by comparison am one awesome motherfucker". I'll never meet the Aghori in my lifetime. I may see them on tv but we'll never cross paths that I can confidently say. The only way I eat a brain is if I turn full Hollywood zombie. Thing is, what else do we know about them. Do we see worth in knowing anything else because they do that foul shit?

And technically speaking we've all seen a few people eat shit . Some whack jobs actually do drink urine. I've seen it in everything from survival courses to athletes and a boxing great doing it on network tv. Not for me though, feck that.

Ummm we're talking different cultures and in SOME cultures eating brains is apparently not a taboo, it's a part of their social norms, as is spousal abuse....in MY culture those things are frowned upon.

OK so you'll never meet an Aghori, what about a Muslim would you ever meet a Muslim? What about if he is a Muslim of the belief that wife beating is a pretty fucking good time? What of that Spicoli?


I don't want arguments I want people to get a good understanding of what I'm saying rather than jumping to conclusions
