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

[El Kabong]

.....wife beating in the UK and US is also against the law. Thereby showing what our respective cultures think about that particular kind of violence.

Need I baby step you through this reasoning again? In the west we have Shelters dedicated to helping such women.....but no, no, Beanz says WE'RE the ones with the problem. Let us all go get a good self flagelation in because Islam doesn't have a problem.....the west does.


Fucking incredible how fucking dense you can be

[El Kabong]

You know Beanz you COULD just YouTube "Wife beating in Islam" and you can see everyone from the Imams to the young men to even the women accepting that kind of violence.....but continue on with your bullshit PLEASE! This shit ain't hidden from the public it's not frowned on, it's not prosecuted, it's a way of life.....but that all goes away because you have your fingers in your ears going "LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU! "

Asian cultures are probably superior to Western cultures. Stronger sense of family, fewer single mothers, longer life expectancy, higher IQ's, better public transport, ability to manufacture useful products instead of bombs, less violence, less acid attacks, less gangs, less needless police intrusion, more modern infrastructure, healthier people, better diet. It's alright and gets better all the time.

Bangladesh is on what continent? They lead the way in acid attacks.

The lack of value placed on the individual in Asian cultures allows for things like Mao's great leap forward and the Rape of Nanking.

Asians are extremely racist....I know, it's surprising seeing how they all look alike

I would specify far Eastern Asian cultures. The more developed ones. Also, I don't find the Asians I meet to be terribly racist if racist at all. I hear that more about Japan, but unless I lived there I couldn't really argue if it is true or not. Sometimes English teachers get bitter in a shitty job and think everything is against them, so maybe a bit of that too. You get the odd mostly ignored racist hate organisation, but on the whole they are marginalised as the fruit loops that they are. Nothing more weird than a bunch of middle aged asian men stalking female white English teachers and finding used condoms as a sign that the white devil has been caught in the act. Nah, most people aren't like that. You won't find white people making up excessive prison population numbers out here. The kind of racism where minorities end up in prison is all your own. Speaking of which I would much rather be in prison out here than anywhere near your system.

Beanz: "X, Y and Z"

Lyle: "Why would you say X, Y and Z?"

beanz (ad nauseum): "Where have I said X, Y and Z?"

[Gandalf]

It does seem to be basically Lyle not being happy about Muslim wife beating and Beanz arguing that it isn't all Muslims. Either way other cultures are being ignored and many of them are a bit better than what the Western ones have become. You and me Brock have actually taken the time to live in different cultures so we can see a bit more. I cannot speak for Middle Eastern cultures, but do know IQ's are significantly lower, cousin marriage is common, and that they tend to have far too many children whence nobody having a role in an age of mechanisation. There are bright sparks of course and they tend to do much better. It's similar I guess to the British Chavs who are a bit similar to the low IQ, cousin marrying, too many children types. The culture becomes more advanced the more intelligent it gets. IQ goes up, much less interbreeding, less children. Suddenly you are seeing civilisation as it should be. They bemoan the low birthrates in Asia, but you won't need more children in a technological age. The short sighted just do not understand that, they are stuck in an inferior culture mindset. Thus they open their borders, you have 67 languages in the school, everyone is an individual, and the race to the bottom continues as only the poorest have too many children. It also means massive societal division as inequality rises and the poor sub groups blame each other ad infinitum. Meanwhile the superior cultures carry on, let integration happen carefully, and they continue to take over the world.

Lyle: "Why would you say X, Y and Z?"

beanz (ad nauseum): "Where have I said X, Y and Z?"

I have not changed my position which is why you could not address one single point in my post. You have went from seeing America as " a highly aggressive and hostile country made up of battling factions " to hating anyone who has not sold out like yourself. You have gone from counselling Lyle about just sticking up for the Republicans, because the democrats are corrupt, to buying wholesale into the right wing myth of rich tax avoiding bozos being miraculous job creators. You used to moan about there being too much hate in America and now you seem disappointed there isn't more.

You have both invented this political and ideological position for me to occupy so that you can justify an extreme binary unsophisticated view of the world in which there are only ever two choices.

Where have I said that Islam does not have a problem? All fundamentalist expressions of religion have a problem. You are acting like a simpleton Lyle. The west like has a problem and ironically that problem is that it is in denial. You seem to want me to occupy a position simply so that you can prove your own very shaky synopsis to have merit. From day one on this forum I have said that I do not think multiculturalism works and that I do not think men and women are equal. I know you probably find it hard to wrap your head around that because you have invented a position for me that makes that position incompatible. I have said also on many occasions that there are huge problems with Islam but that does not fit into your neat version of the world and what you and Brockton have reduced me to in your minds.
