The West is best

- Cheer for your hometown team. Unless you want to be executed.

- Marrying animals is cool. Then worship your neighbor's cow.

- Murder your children with little to no consequences. Has some kid recently slept with your daughter and dishonored your family's honor? Eliminate him and set his house on fire.

- Deny your nation's crimes. It wasn't the Holocaust and only Chinese were harmed, so who cares?

- Speaking of the Holocaust, it didn't even exist. Use this fact as an international bargaining tool.

Obviously, I could go on and on. I'm not some crazy racist who hates Asians or Arabs for no reason other than skin color, religion, or language. I just feel that a lot of the world's population hasn't caught on to the development of Western thought, such as the Enlightenment, which just happened to be more than 200 years ago. Clearly, there has to be intelligent and educated people in Iran and the Middle East; get out of your medieval thought process! Maybe the West owns you because you insist on subjugating women and basic human rights. Might be that it has nothing to do with Allah's favor. And the Indians, Chinese, and Japanese aren't perfect either. The caste system is horribly wrong, killing infant girls is horribly wrong, and denying your nation's WWII crimes is horribly wrong. Bring it into this century people.

And don't even get me started on the whole cartoon thing. Last I checked we didn't kill Walt Disney for disrespecting mice.

And this is not to say that here in America that everything we do is hunky-dory. Obviously, every society and culture is going to have some problems and people who think quite backwardly. That Warren Jeffs guy out in Utah with his polygamist cult would not be my first pick to represent an outstanding American citizen.
