Not in a way that I could say that my culture is superior to it.  That’d be fucking stupid.

Why?

Are there not sufficient differences between the cultures of those countries to enable a comparison?

Ok, a dictionary definition.

So, do you think that Singapore has its own culture? Does the USA? Does the UK?

Shouldn’t you be asking schrra this question? Not defending them in their superiority claim.

I’m asking you as you seem to describe culture differently to everyone else on this thread.

So, how do you define culture?

How do you define a culture
How do you define a culture Don?

You seem to dismiss the idea that a country can have its own culture.

You have to be an empire to really go for the genocide thing, but countries that have had a good go at it recently include Myan Mar, SriLanka and Serbia.

I’m pretty sure that any resistance within those countries demonstrate that it would not be the culture of those countries that would be definitive as schrar claimed by using Singaporean and American.

I have an absolute hatred (and sympathy) for racists. I don’t consider england to be a racist country.

Those are not countries whose cultures are of genocide. Definitions and the point are being confused. schrar claimed that they belonged to a culture that was superior to those of America and Singapore (they are nations), having had the opportunity to offer an explanation, and failing to do so, I conclude thay they are ignorant. Talking about the culture of genocide is not relevant to this conversation and could be considered to be supporting shcrar in their fucked up thinking.

There may well be unsavoury elements (or cultures) within those countries, but one cannot slurr a whole nation, race or ethnicity blindly.

Perhaps you’d (not directed at the ktache in spite of them being quoted) be better placed for asking why scrahr is using culture when referencing America and Singapore instead of hounding me for calling out a muppet.

Which culture (as a country) promotes genocide (for fuck’s sake!)?

Look no further:  As a country, what is the point that we’re trying to make by renewing “Trident”?   Cloaking it with a silly name instead of something that evokes the terror of all out thermonuclear war.  It makes previous attempts at genocide look very tame.

Ok, enough doom and gloom. It’s a nice day out here, let’s return to normal irritations like a puncture just outside the cake stop. 

P.S. However, I can’t resist:  I still remember that the ‘70s were when the ‘60s reached most of the population.  The “3 day week” era was the most productive period, since WW2 for the UK, but we learned nothing and persisted in wasting peoples’ lives with a 5 day week, which leads us to today with our “non-jobs” and massive unemployment hidden as long term illness.

Genocide was used as an example of an objective criterion that few would disagree with.

Genocide has been undertaken in many cultures and countries throughout history. I hope you knew that already.

If you agree that genocide is always objectively wrong then you cannot, by definition, believe all cultures are equal.

Tolerance for others is, in my opinion, another objective measure of a cultures standing.
