Anyways, Frownland, what this thread is actually about is an exercise of Westerner's circle jerking with horror at the realization that "OMG, TANNER, DID YOU KNOW OUR VALUES AREN'T UNIVERSALLY HELD?!??!" It's the sort of casual eurocentrism that dominates any discussion of the other on this board.
You're correct, we are discussing conflicting values. Would there be a discussion otherwise? Not to mention that my post was an attempt to understand how people on the other side of the coin see the debate, not a bewildered post at the fact that something like an opinion could be different from my own.
