Where else can you find someone, so good, so right, so rare...? I am an somewhat eccentric artist, aiming to be an attorney, with old-fashioned leanings, despite being a libertarian. How is that for mixed up? If that doesn't disturb you, or make you wonder, I'll make it easy; I am likely very different from you, or most (if not all) of the people you know. The stipulation is that I make all the rules, Intimidation, turns the wisest men to fools, You're caught, overwrought, and distraught! Suddenly the world seems out of joint! Don't you see, baby? That's the point!
Are we obligated to "enlighten" other cultures?
I keep hearing and reading about conditions of women in third-world countries, or even industrial ones. They're spoken of as if it's our duty as major powers to invade their culture and force our ways on the native people, regardless that their culture may be lost because of it.
Is it our duty to force our culture, our thoughts, our morals, our ways of life, on others? Is our way right because we say it is, and is it right for them?
18 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoAre you shallow? You know you are. How much are you able to admit to? Test the theory.?
It seems a lot of people like to say, "People who don't like you because of _____ aren't worth your time!" and "It's what's inside that counts."
I call bull. Let's test the theory:
1. Picture in your mind the most grotesque example of humanity (respective to the sex of preference) you can. I mean sideshow freak worthy. If you can't imagine dating someone 40 years your senior/junior, add that into the equation.
2. Now, add on top of that a horrid body odor, and halitosis.
3. Now imagine that they are in possession of every bad habit that you despise (neat freak, wimpy/weak, sloppy, smoker, drinker, abuser, emo, etc.)
4. Now that I feel that I don't need to go further, please, by all means, imagine kissing this person, making love to this person (for the sake of argument, lets say they're so small they couldn't satisfy a hummingbird, or so loose that John Deere could start a manufacturing plant inside, god forbid, pardon the language), waking up to this person every day.
