Voted : There are objective standards, this can be judged barbaric
Does the question really need to be asked?
Voted : There are objective standards, this can be judged barbaric
Why don't they punish the guy? It seems they are not really angry at what guys do, They are just looking for reasons to express women hating.
Himself: 7 out of 17 people have voted that this cannot be criticized, apparently the correct answer is not as obvious to some people as it should be.

It was plain wrong. Even the incompetent UN would (theoretically) aknowledge that due to the universal declaration of human rights? Or was that declaration bigotry according to all the people that voted that this sort of thing cannot be criticised?

Rape is an offshoot of human sexuality. Sex is part of human nature; it's not endemic to any one culture. The only difference between gang-rape in Pakistan and gang-rape in the United States is the cultural context and societal interpretation. And an article which represents the rape of a single individual is not statistically significant, though assumptions can be made through subjective interpretation and/or more extensive research -- either to prove one's point or to seek the truth.
- That's not to say the manner in which these events manifest themselves aren't deserving of study and consideration. But measurable bias, spoken or unspoken, compromises the integrity and objectivity of this consideration.
In answer to your question, of course rape, murder, theft, greed, dishonesty and so forth can be judged on a general moral spectrum.
"The only difference between gang-rape in Pakistan and gang-rape in the United States is the cultural context and societal interpretation."
So the only difference, is that according to their culture it's acceptable, even encouraged, according to ours it's one of the worst crimes you can commit. I'd say that proves my point. Every culture has evil men, does that culture punish them, or elevate them to a respectable status in society? That is an important difference.
"And an article which represents the rape of a single individual is not statistically significant, though assumptions can be made through subjective interpretation and/or more extensive research -- either to prove one's point or to seek the truth."
This one is an isolated event, and the one I posted prior to it was an isolated event, and the one before that, and so on and so on until you're sick to death of hearing about gang rapes. But when you put all those "isolated events' together you get a trend, and from that you can make certain assumptions.
A nation killing one jew isn't a trend that is statistically significant. If they commit 6 million isolated, unrelated murders then perhaps there is something worth investigating.
herzog, you are so right. A trick that some people use to cloud an issue is to isolate incidents so that it becomes difficult to see a pattern.
