Traditinal values in action ping!

This crap will destroy the culture of Samoa. So much for respecting the cultures of indigenous people. The leftists continue to be hypocritical pigs.

Traditional Samoan life is oriented around the extended family. This has provided care and a social safety net for women, children and the elderly. Since the government adopted the CEDAW convention in 1992, however, the incursions into that traditional way of life by the push to get women out of the home and into the workforce have begun to destabilize Samoan society.

I was going to ping you, until I realized you posted the article :)

God help Samoa, and God help these do-gooders for sticking their noses in. While I personally don't know many Samoans, there is a thriving community in Carson, Ca., and surrounding areas. They are doing quite well, thank you very much, and they don't take crap.

Anyone who knows Samoa knows that the women have at least as much if not more influence in the society than men. They know what they are doing. Plus, they are large and not to be messed with.

Nah, not the UN
