Ah - so we finnally have your real position - "cultural relativism".
Youre wecome to that position but if you truely accept it than you shouldnt be disagreeing with anyone including me - if you want to be logically consistant.
Anyway Im happy to end the discussion with you being a culturall relativist and me not being one. I no longer think your opinion is worth my time and I suppose you think the same of my position.
EDIT: I actually noticed at least one of my spelling errors for once.
