UN draft on nuclear Iran tabled

[Reenk Roink]

By your logic, had the south won the civil war it would be fine for them to continue slavery to this date. They would have a majority "vote" to keep it.

After all, there is no right and wrong, everything is relative, no culture is superior. So hey, if tommorow your fellow countrymen decide to adopt a law stating you are now a slave and have no rights, that's just them exercising their rights. Who are "we" to dictate our morals upon them? Everything is right to someone!

You are certaintly entitled to that opinion, I disagree however. I believe there are indeed morals and ethics in the world. I believe there is right and wrong. I believe people have certain God given rights, and that noone (including a "majority" of their fellow countrymen/relgion) has a right to take those away from them.

I'm sorry, I just don't believe tommorow the United States has the right to hold a vote that if passed, would declare all Blacks slaves again. And if such a thing did happen, I would pray to God that the EU, or anyone with the power would come "impose their views" on us and make it clear "sorry, you can't buy, sell, and own human beings, just because the majority of your country wants to".

Sorry, I do have ethics...(recall: it is bad to kill civilians in war/"collateral damage" condones the massacre of civilians)

They simply do not coincide with your paradigm...

You miss the ball completely with your misplaced slavery analogy. My view is that we should not dictate our point of view on other cultures. The same holds true for others.

If someone said, "go to a Mosque", I would politely refuse. I would not say to him, "go to a Church" though...

If I went to Singapore (I plan to soon) I will not go and say "never execute a man for possesion of drugs, you backwards, evil people". I have qualms with it, but hey, they have basically no crime.

Also, this "God given right" stuff, where was it through the first 1776 years of Christianity? Where does the Christian God forbid slavery (I presume you are Christian)? He doesn't.

I'm sorry, but you are going to have to elaborate further on the source of your ethics...
