11. Yep. I know a lot of people like to play the moral relativist on here...

Edited on Sat Oct-23-10 03:46 PM by LostInAnomie

... but seriously, ask yourself: Are cultures refuse women education, property, or voting rights the ethical equals of countries that provide such rights? Are cultures that torture and kills gays for simply being gay the ethical equivalent of those where they are not? Are cultures that refuse adequate medical treatment to the poor ethically the same as those that provide care to everyone?
