Der. . . Do you think I would be unable to recognize it is wrong for someone else to punch me in the nose if I were raised in a different culture?

I think if you were raised in a different culture you might think it OK for someone else or yourself to punch me in the nose.

Very few think it acceptable for someone to injure them but things get dicey when someone else is the injured party.

• Many in Islamic nations think it is OK to treat non-mulims as inferiors.
• In Hindu societies the poor were looked down upon and it was necessary to treat them as inferiors.
• In ancient Rome it was considered fine for gladiator to kill others for sport.
• ....

That wasn't the question. The answer is, pretty much everyone in every culture thinks it is wrong to assault that person.

Now please provide me a rational reason why it isn't wrong for me to hurt you for no reason if we proceed from the assumption that it is wrong for you to hurt me for no reason. There is none, so it follows that it is just as wrong for me to hurt you as it is for you to hurt me. Voila, the golden rule. It doesn't take a genius or a prophet to figure it out.
