Why on earth should anyone respect culture, religion or tradition?
Wheres the logical rationality in following rules or codes of conduct etc simply as its always been done or somone or some book says so?
As opposed to anaylsing whether its a fair, just good and benefitcal to society thing or not?
For example...
Bonzai trees, pagodas, Tai chi, noodle soup all are harmless and make life fun and pretty.
Arabian food is nice and yummy, the ismalic ban on alcohol makes sense given all the trouble you get or at least very restricted...
These are understandable.
Likewise tradional dances and some not all dress.
But things like a veil that hides a face and personality and identity and person, foot binding that cripples children, forced marriage and family honour akin to human trafficing sex slavoury.
Wheres the good in that?
Why not look as see gays... tradionally and relgiously deemed bad likewise witches.
But have they are a whole done anything
