Ah, the cultural relativism of how everyone thinks they're a good guy. Cut off heads, bomb children, kill people going to worship, etc. is all the actions of good guys in their culture and we have to accept that it's a different culture. Sorry, but there are some universal standards of behavior and this makes some cultures better than others. Now I've done the worst thing I could ever do. I've expressed a sentiment of cultural superiority. No matter what I say from now on I'll be labeled with this. Well, maybe I'm right.
