"The concept of cultural relativism is a suicide pact."

"The concept of cultural relativism is a suicide pact. The moment you say who are we to judge? When looking at genital mutilation, or the execution of homosexuals, you have surrendered your own civilisation. We have a duty to judge, and we have a duty to condemn."
~ Masih Alinejad, (widely misattributed to Christopher Hitchens)

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
