I also love when someone repeatedly mentions the ‘cultural norm’ of other cultures as if it is valid for the American Paradigm.
The Founers must be spinning as they watch a small segment of society spit on what they had wrought.
"Posterity, you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that ever I took half the pains to preserve it." John Adams
Please point out where I said the cultural norms of other societies are valid for the American norm.
It is possible to consider such information interesting without claiming we should therefore change our own culture to coincide. Ours is at least as valid as theirs.
I suspect you are reading things into my post I didn’t actually say.
