Thank you, Guineapig.

I for one -amongst several others - report you every time you use racial or homophobic epithets. Guineapig has been responding to community member requests which follow the rule structure as it is posted. Don't be mad at him, he is doing his job, and doing a good job at it. Be mad at me, for taking the time to report you in the first place. Rather, be mad at yourself, for being incapable of communicating without using words which you know can be harmful or inflammatory to others (especially minority groups).

Thank you Guineapig, for always being quick, professional, and communicative regarding your duties as a forum moderator. I've rarely reported something to you and been ignored, and considering how much I PM you with reports, that's a real accomplishment.

Hasbinbad fails to acknowledge that the couple is from Saudi Arabia and culturally domestic abuse isn't "abuse" there and a normative of their social and religious beliefs

Thus guy is in jail and wife is therefore ostracized and shamed in their community because they put the blame on her.

Hasbinbad is therefore culturally insensitive because he applies his western logic and ethics and impresses them upon other people.

Hasbinbad is therefore just as ethnocentric as the rest of rural Mississippi just not as overt as spouting off the word "******" in a Wal-Mart

Thanks Hasbinbad, for all the subtle racism

Interview any Saudi woman young or old and they would tell you that if their husband did not behave as such towards them it shows that he doesn't care for them.

Open your mind and let those thousand years worth of Christian moral superiority leak out

I was mainly trolling the people who have replied to my post with hatred. I love how the people who had something to say about me being a snitch snitched. I win.

About Abacab:



Abacab, I am not a cultural relativist.

Some things are wrong.

Domestic abuse is one (of many) of those things. I don't care what culture you're from, if you're beating your wife in the house next to mine (or another place), I will do what I can to stop that from happening, including talking to you, calling the authorities, or stopping you myself. Cultural relativism is an artifact of far left philosophy which is great in theory and can be applied to many situations, but in practice when violence is involved, it becomes justification.

You understand that by stopping the husband from hitting his wife for an action she did, you shame that entire family? Which is far worse than being slapped in a culture that puts so much religious antiquity in their behavior.

You see it as irrational because violence is violence thus never justified, but for centuries they've seen it as a normal and acceptable part of life, the bruises show to other how much their husband loves them... What if you stopped that?
