Western culture is not defined by what the norms are in the States alone and many of the issues brought up here are accepted precisely as I formulated them, in western culture.
OK then let me restate my previous statement without the phrase "western culture". US CULTURE does not think of these issues as NORMS. Look at the polling data that has come out.
Lets take San Fan. CA for instance. One rouge mayor in one city decides to break the law because he thinks the law is wrong. Forgetting what the issue is entirly for a second lets recall that the MAJORITY 75% of californians voted against the issue. A libral is pushing his minority veiws on a subject to make people think it is the norm. That's what librals do.
as far as western culture goes you braught up that word and I just happen to repeat it because I thaught we were talking about the US not europe oceania and to a lesser extent some sections of asia. I could really care less what europe, oceania and to a lesser extent some sections of asia think about the US. They obviously dont take action if there culture does somthing that offends us so why care.
lets elaborate on what you've stated so far
No guns in your home
Arnt I garunteed the right to bare arms under the constitution. If i'm a law abiding citizen what should you care what I have in my home? Extreme? YES
all citizens can marry any consenting adult they love,
this is not an equal rights issue. All consenting adults have the same right to marry a member of the opposite sex because that is what a marrige is. Civil unions? I do agree with them but not marrige. What's next inter species marrige multiple partner marriges....where does it stop EXTREME? YES Libs press this as normal? YES Majority support for gay marrige? NO!
women can decide for themselves what they want with their lives.
woman can infact decide for themselves what they want with their lives. They can decide to keep their leggs closed EXTREME? YES (personal note....while I am pro life I do not support the extermest that go after abortion doctors nor do I try and press there cause as a norm.)
