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

Well Beanz, thank you for taking the time to post BUT things have not changed and I cannot read your posts unless somebody quotes them and this will remain the case because you're a piss poor poster and I honestly don't fucking like you.

Pakistan is “mainstreaming” misogynist tribal justice
https://www.economist.com/news/asia/...ttribaljustice

ONE evening in August Bakht Jan, a 15-year-old girl, attempted to elope with her boyfriend. Before she could meet him, relatives found her and brought her home. Although both families agreed on a swift marriage for their children, a jirga, or tribal council, demanded blood. Obeying its edict, Ms Bakht’s father drugged and then electrocuted her. Her boyfriend was murdered by his own father in the same way the next day, restoring “honour” in the eyes of the jirga.
Such barbarism has become synonymous with jirgas, a traditional form of justice that blends tribal and Islamic customs with the whims of participants. Despite a law passed in 2011 that allows police to arrest members of jirgas suspected of “anti-women” practices, grotesque abuses continue unabated, activists say. Mukhtar Mai, who was gang-raped on the orders of a jirga in 2002 as recompense for a sexual assault supposedly committed by a male relative, recently lamented that her subsequent campaign to curb the use of jirgas had not succeeded. Just three months ago a girl, aged 16, suffered a horrifically similar “revenge rape” in the same province.

So you are defending it unless brown people or Muslims are involved then? You can't claim the fifth for a whole country you twat

[El Kabong]

First of all, nowhere did anyone say that the United States or the West in general is absolutely perfect and without sin....but it is ok if you wish to take that belief and run with it because I know you will.

In Pakistan 1/5th of all brides are underage......soooo while I find the whole child bride thing to be horrible, I also take the time to note how big of an issue it actually is. Now the 11-15 and I'd say maybe up to 17 year olds getting married, there's no need for that and it's horrible that it occurs and it typically occurs because of extremely perverted "religious" practices of all faiths....Pentecostals are bad about it...crazy asses that they are. However, the overwhelming majority of "children" that get married are 16-17 years old and if one of those youngsters is marrying a 20 year old then I don't see a societal problem with it I mean I wouldn't want it for my own kids, but then again I don't want the government in my business or my future kids business.


It's funny to me that you are so adamant about making it out that the West and the United States in general are such horrible places and yet you want to welcome migrants here. Migrants from cultures which have far greater problems than child brides.

For example....

Where have i ever said that the West and the United Stated in general are such horrible places? You just judge everyone according to your own standards. Where is my thread claiming that all cultures are better than the American Judeo/Christian model ? they don't exist. Where are my threads about blokes all being ugly women hating bastards? They do not exist. They never have and never will. Stop with the Bullshitting Lyle. Admit that you have no interest in debating anything just constantly telling us YOUR way, The alt-right,Christian,American, White Male, capitalist worshipping way is the best way and everyone else are devil worshiping leftist zombies intent on ruining the world.

In this very thread you've posted at length about the KKK, spousal abuse et al in the United States and West...I've provided arguments about racism and spousal abuse being much worse in other places and yet you cannot discern if 1 culture is better than the other....that is a backhanded way of shitting on America and the West. I've yet to see you produce an argument for people being unable to tell which culture is better or if it's the other way round. On the other hand I've provided examples of specific cultures and how they operate in the world today and yeah some of them are barbaric truly nasty cultures, but you have made the thread asking the question "Some cultures are better than others ? True, False, Impossible to answer conclusively" aaaaaand if you're seeing these cultures and you can't answer conclusively then perhaps there's something wrong with you.

For example "Western/American culture is better than the folks in Mozambique who dismember albinos because magic"....and you don't respond with anything close to an answer of true, false, impossible to answer conclusively....would ya be a sport and try it out? You just come back with bullshit like "You haven't convinced me you have to convince me".....they're cutting up little albino children because of magic the last time my culture did that or something similar to that was

What you do is you wait for me to make an argument and then you are critical of my post but (and here's the best part) you offer up NOTHING in return.



Post whatever you fucking like, but God damn it don't fucking come at me with this "Have I done this? I never did this" like it's supposed to keep me from posting how I want.


Want to know a "devil worshiping leftist zombie"? Check out Socialist Dictator Robert Mugabe, I know you love those Socialists.

Manchester domestic violence case dropped for 'cultural incompetence'
http://www.newhampshire.com/crime/ma...tence-20170709

A Congolese immigrant escaped prosecution on six domestic-violence crimes when his lawyer convinced a city prosecutor that he lacked the cultural competency to participate in the American justice system, according to court and public records reviewed by the New Hampshire Union Leader.

The decision is one of several questionable actions highlighted late last month by Attorney General Gordon MacDonald in a widespread critique of domestic-violence prosecutions in Manchester. MacDonald's critique led to the abrupt retirement of veteran City Solicitor Tom Clark and has put Clark's office under heightened scrutiny.



Ah so in ONE culture it's against the law to beat women (especially pregnant women) and in ANOTHER culture this is at the very most up for debate and at worst completely and totally acceptable.....yeah it's IMPOSSIBLE to tell if SOME cultures are better than others, completely impossible.

DANCING WITH THE DEAD MAY BE SPREADING THE PLAGUE IN MADAGASCAR
http://www.newsweek.com/dancing-dead...agascar-693513
“If a person dies of pneumonic plague and is then interred in a tomb that is subsequently opened for a famadihana, the bacteria can still be transmitted and contaminate whoever handles the body,” Willy Randriamarotia, the chief of staff in Madagascar’s health ministry, told AFP.

Plague, an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis, is endemic to Madagascar.

Cases of the bubonic plague—which is spread through the bite of an infected flea and was known in medieval Europe as the Black Death—are reported every year in the epidemic season, which usually runs from September to April.

But the first case in the 2017 outbreak occurred on August 23, when a 31-year-old who was visiting Madagascar’s central highlands developed malaria-like symptoms and died four days later.

Since then, 1,192 cases of the plague have been identified and 124 people have died from the disease, according to an update issued on Monday by the U.N.’s humanitarian affairs office and the government of Madagascar.

Two-thirds of the cases identified have been of pneumonic plague—the most virulent form of the disease—which can be spread from person to person through airborne droplets, spread by coughing or sneezing. Pneumonic plague can kill patients within 12 to 24 hours, meaning that immediate diagnosis and health treatment is crucial.




....but yeah, beautiful culture though while it lasts

I'mma do a two'fer today, I feel generous, I'm gonna hit 2 cultures in the same country right meow

#1 Anglo-Saxon England which USED to believe in free speech




#2 Migrant/Muslim England (no arrests made for this though)




Both are disgusting, both shouldn't be supported, and all parties involved should feel ashamed because #1 is WRONG and #2 is WRONG

[brocktonblockbust]

It's amazing to me how culture A for example can have millions and millions of 10 year old child Brides or gang rapes and then culture B you can find one or two instances of this and then people call that hypocracy.

People will because of political correctness fail to deem that one is far worse than the other simply because they found a couple of incidences in the one which is much much better in every way. You talked about trying really really hard to bend over backwards to remain neutral it is an agenda and a sickness that has to be cured
