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

As an individual do you draw a distinction between what you think people 'believe' and what you actually see them do? I've known a couple of Muslims in my life and can say confidently they did not beat their wives. They actually pay taxes and believe in the opportunity that this land provides as long as you're willing to work for it. As stated if I personally see a woman or child being beat then they're getting cuffed up. To date though I've seen more drunkin red necks beat more women than I have Muslims. I have no idea what religion they were. Maybe it's environment or sheer numbers. However what an individual person thinks is not for me to pretend to know. Religion can frankly teaches us all kinds of twisted shit. All of them.

Hey, I know Muslims too who are the sweetest people I could ever hope to meet (they're Iranian Shia and not Sunni though soooo there might be your difference)....that doesn't change the fact that I've seen Muslims lopping heads off of "infidels" and stoning rape victims to death in other countries...just because that stuff I haven't witnessed in person doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. I've yet to witness a gangland killing but I know they happen....I don't know if I've witnessed a complete solar eclipse but I don't have to see it first hand to know it happens, I haven't witnessed a baby being born first hand but I know they ain't brought to the house by a stork ya feel me?

....would you care to dispute Ayaan Hirsi Ali?


Yes, drunken red necks can/have/will beat their wives too, white collar workers will do it too, but do you not see the difference man? WE DON'T ACCEPT THAT! We don't tolerate that shit! The culture in the United States is that spousal abuse is a horrible thing, it's against the fucking law! That's my point man.

My bad for not getting get back to you at your convenience bud but the day belongs to a jobby job and I was elbow deep in parvo pups and other 'stuff' we wont get into. Pass the bleach. Nah man it's actually all good and I don't see so much a debate as simply hashing out opinion on the peripherals. No one is saying that it doesn't happen and that it's not entirely wrong. Honor killings are a travesty and in the news up North. I just can't say as an individual, for me, that I'm better over an entire culture, any culture, religion as I don't believe their most vile actions or vile 'people' speak to them as a whole. Alright I need a drink
