Wellington 10-24-2008, 08:36 PM Tell us yours first. I'm bored enough to actually read it. buddix 10-24-2008, 08:42 PM Absolutes do exist. gratif 10-25-2008, 01:20 AM Here's an absolute: Female Genital Mutilation is not just an alternative cultural practice; it violates the harm principle and it's just fucking wrong. If the postmodernismfags want to label that sentiment as my western-chauvinist/hegemonic bias/InsertSociologyBuzzwordHere, then I shall lay my moral dick on the table and tell them to have a lick. Because I'm right. Also, "there are no absolutes" is an absolute statement. dubiousFrotteur 10-25-2008, 08:21 AM Absolutes do exist. QFT.

During a traditional funeral everyone was getting ready to throw the widow onto the pyre when the commander of the local regiment stopped them. They told him that it was a cultural practice and that he should respect thier tradition. The commander replied that he also had a cultural tradition and that was to hang people who burned innocent people alive and that they should build their pyre and he'll start building a gallows and that they should all just see how everything works out. |
