Re: Are all cultures equal?
It is also an ugly truth that the greater tolerance of LGBTs in western countries has happened in spite of the best efforts of your fellow travellers on the right. That's why trying to use this as an anti-liberal argument (a the initial post implied) is quite disingenuous.

Re: Are all cultures equal?
The thread title is rather short and simple but it's a minefield to be honest; more specific versions of it have probably been subject of no end of university dissertations over the years.
Sadly the simple answer to the thread title is no they aren't and probably yes they should be. Sadly true equality in any place isn't a reality yet; we are just closer to it in some than others, with some countries being decades behind. But the impacting factors are too many to mention with economics, religion and politics to name just a few.
I feel privileged that I live in a country where I feel safe enough to openly be who I want to be despite the fact some people still openly hate that fact at the same time. It's a scary thought that in so many places just being yourself is enough to warrant hatred and the threat of death however; but then every time I watch the news I wonder if those of us from countries where we can feel so privileged will feel that way for much longer. If recent years have taught us anything there are sections of society that have voted for political change for very scary negative reasons and feel they can be more openly hateful because of those results.
Don't get me wrong I'm not really pro or anti-brexit for example I can see the sensible reasons for both but there is most certainly a minority that voted out of hatred of others; and I'm no fan of Hilary Clinton - in many way the old South Park episode came true in my eyes with voting between a giant douche and a turd sandwich - but a world where a man as hateful as Donald Trump currently holds so much power scares me.

Re: Are all cultures equal?
You missed everything....
Well....I guess you need to pay objective attention rather than cater to your own biases.
Never have I stated that I'm a right wing person.
And for the record - I'm not.
Perhaps you should stop, think, and understand that world is not fully Left nor Right.......one example of that are Libertarians another are Independents.
Or to simplify things for you, everything is not Black or White....Or if you're a Star Wars fan, to simplify for you....everything is not absolutes in that you're either with me or against me...
Etcetera, etcetera....

Equal? Try "successful", read a lot of history, and you'll have your answer.

Re: Are all cultures equal?
no. all hold the right to their culture, but some are more progressive, or more advanced, than others.
