Default Re: When do or should customs trump law?

The mutalation has always disturbed me. When we invaded Iraq for freeing the oppressed. I told many people that women were treated with more respect their than many other countries.

As for the rest. Well, if I throw a candy wrapper on the ground in Singapore, I am going to jail. If I carry a half ounce of marijuana in China, I am going to jail. If I give a thumbs up to a Mid Easterner, I can expect to get thumped in the head.

I don't even live in these countries, but I do know some of the laws. Yes, even until 50 years ago, "human rights" in America did not neccesarily include women and minorities. But it is logical that when you see it on the news that such and such went to prison for abducting/ beating/ killing, then the law is pretty much in your face. I don't buy the ignorance excuse.

As for the Jewish women. I would ask them if they prefer it that we all live like we live in Isreal and beat them whenever we please, and not allow them to sing, etc....

You can't have it both ways.
