And then you say, 'Why should I learn the customs of just every little
village I come across and rob of their food'? How DARE you.

Pure arrogance.

Chill

Anti-cultural posts (regardless of the culture posting or >being posted
against) have no place on a public list like this.  >Culturally

derogatory

"corrections" (like this) have no place either.

IMO of course.

If you have a problem with someone or someone's opinion, >please take it

to

PRIVATE mail.  
IMO of course.

This list has enough problems.  We do not need any >flamewars, and this

post

is blatant flamebait (and I'm not sure it isn't >intentional flamebait
either)  If you want to stir up trouble, go elsewhere.

Well. . .

This list has enough problems? Perhaps you should make sure you are not
the one holding a match. . .

As for strong willed opinion up there, he seems to be very much one sided
in the views. Perhaps if he was thrust into a difficult cultural
situation, and publicly ridiculed or embarrassed, his view would change.

Of course, one cannot be expected to go sit down and study a village's
history for each village they enter. That, my friend, is a pompous
village who would expect that of an outsider---such as the Nyu chue zu of
China.

It is true that ignorance is still a flimsy defense. . .but no more
flimsy than Personal Expectation is an offense.

And by the by, racial and cultural attacks are for the ignorant. Please
don't prove my opinion of you correct and  place slander on this list.
