CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY ARE TO BE CHERISHED, BUT ALL MUST SUBSCRIBE TO A SINGLE STANDARD OF HUMAN RIGHTS. AGREE OR DISAGREE?

Recently, there has been riots in France, Australia and other places. It seems that there is some type of culture clash or least a lack of respect on either or both sides.

Do you think that this idea: "Cultural and linguistic diversity are to be cherished, but all must subscribe to a single standard of human rights" is a good idea?

Agree. We have to embrace diversity if we are to progress, and not make the mistake that many of our ancestors did.

Human rights are different in every culture so this can never be achieved.

Can you have a tribe of cannibals preserve their culture and still respect the Western standard of human rights?

You're fooling yourself if think that's going to happen.

pretty much ,innocent human life should be respected & I don't see why that shouldn't be universal.

There's a lot to be said for tolerance.

Tolerance: How far a mechanical part can deviate from the norm before it screws up the entire machine.

Well muslim people r veri intolerant of all of us others. and they don't want to respect our way of life trying to force theirs on us. But human rights basically don't exist in their culture...

according to a few certain lefties, being of a certain religion means you can abuse all kinds of human rights

Which certain lefties do you mean?

Name names!

I agree. I prefer to live in a monocultural society but I would like to visit other cultures and I'm glad I have the opportunity.

Hotbottom, I don't actually see what you see, but I do see a lot of 'democracy' being thrust upon unwilling nations.
by xxxxxxxx on Thu Dec 15, 05 12:34pm [+]

well if you don't see it , look up their book, the muslim religion clearly tells it's followers that all the people in the world should be muslim or exterminated. I couldn't think of you wanting that unless you like their way of life. i know what u say though i believe innocent people suffer and i am not prowar at all but thats a different story.. if you have a family and u ever saw them being treated like muslim religion allows them to i believe you would think twice about it.
