It is relativists that are obsessed with one socviety being better than another. You yourself are a relativist.

Now, you say that you like living in the US circa 2008, but - comparing the US to other countries - do you think it is all relative? You said it is all relative.

What would make you think it is “all relative”?

I wasn’t aware that I am obsessed with one society being better than another, thanks for the info. I asked, because you were the only one mentioning it.

I think it’s relative, because someone in another society, may not have the same things I do or want the same things or even think the same. Societies throughout history were/are different because all the stuff that makes up a society are different. Just for a cursory example, a society in the south pacific is going to be different than one in say Canada, because of a multitude of factors, which are obvious, environmental, religious, ethnic backgrounds, etc. That is why I think it is all relative.

I believe even religions are relative. For an example, a Christion’s beliefs are relative to his belief in the bible, correct? While a Hebrew’s beliefs are relative to the Torah, a Muslim , the Koran, etc.
