@RexRed,
Quote:Can you show me where oppression of women, homophobia, condoning of slavery and holy wars are a good thing for society?
Are you suggesting that we should all cease to buy garments made in Bangladesh because the operatives are not paid the US minimum wage and don't work in buildings as safe as we demand.
Those things, and trust you to appeal to the emotive anachronistically, are what the decision making elite deemed right for their societies and if you object to what they decided what do you suggest to replace them?
Do you really think the middle-east is ready for Madonna and Oprah and able to handle such things? The Saudi leadership is a sturdy ally of the US.
How do you define "holy war"?
