To you Shuckins they're equal. Don't look at it from your perspective, try to look at from no perspective at all. To them were not, they don't want to be like us, why, they're not us. Maybe they like to kill each other, maybe they like to live in a world of religiuos violence and turmoil. Maybe if there daughter's commit a family shame, maybe they like to kill them, who knows. Not up to me to say, truth is, it's not up to anyone, but each of us and our own lifes. I can respect their way, i don't care, just don't bother me i have no problem, is how i look at it. The world is going to hell in a hand basket, always will be, to the end. It should be, this is not a reality of perfection, never will be, utopia is not possible in this life, that goes with governments and cultures. I don't look at anybodies culture and govn't being superior including ours, it just is what it is. Would i want to live anyplace else? nope. America's great, as of now to me it's the best we got.
I don't put my faith in any system on this earth, that has any manmade influence to it, i just put up with it.
Good point though
