If you want to dump on the United States, I'm not going to argue with you. Feel free to look into other countries where you'd prefer to live.

[KingArthur305]

So your saying that all cultures from around the world contribute equally in some way to the betterment of mankind?

[KingArthur305]

So why have most innovations and discoveries come from mostly the west, and parts of the Middle East(Israel).

"Feel free to look into other countries where you'd prefer to live."

The essence of a free society is the freedom to try to change it when you think it gets off track.

Sorry to see that you are inclined toward the totalitarian solution.

[Wormwood]

That 'backward and repressive culture' will outlive the one you love so much.

Enjoy you new Dark Age, then.

[GourmetDan]

So you are equivocating moral licentiousness with technological progress.

Interesting.

[GourmetDan]

It is only an immature personality that equivocates material possessions and comfort with moral superiority.

[68skylark]

You can say anything you like about me, my friend -- it seems like you're seeking an argument, but I'm not going to argue with you.

[Wormwood]

It is only an immature personality that equivocates material possessions and comfort with moral superiority.

Point out where I did that.

[KingArthur305]

Have you been to a 3rd world country? If you have you may have grown blind to the chaos around you and grow to love the culture your living in just like the rest of the starving population.

If you haven't then go to one and enjoy.

[GourmetDan]

Apparently you conflate moral superiority with Dark Ages, then.

Interesting.

[Wormwood]

If you define 'moral superiority' as an entitlement to treat women as chattel, to impose repressive sexual mores, to restrict freedom of expression? Then yes---positively primitive.

I always wondered what the appeal of the Taliban was. Seems I found my answer.

[GourmetDan]

"If you define 'moral superiority' as an entitlement to treat women as chattel, to impose repressive sexual mores, to restrict freedom of expression? Then yes---positively primitive."

No, I define 'moral superiority' as women who are not whores who do not invite men into their homes in their nightgowns in the middle of the night.

I define 'moral superiority' as women who are not whores who do not go to men's homes alone.

I define 'moral superiority' as women who do not murder their children in the womb.

I define 'moral superiority' as men and women who are not engaged in fornication, adultery, pornography, homosexuality and pedophelia.

Sorry that you would equivocate that lifestyle as being sexually repressive and equal to the Taliban in order to disparage it.
