Option 4.  Does that make your Social score go up or down?

Up.

Anyways, I agree with it.  Do I think some cultures have better ideals in my opinion? Yes.  Do I think any culture is uncivilized or savage because they hold beliefs different from mine? No.

That makes no sense. Don't you consider your opinion as beinb worth anything?

And option 4, of course. I consider it border-line evil to agree with this statement.

Why? Do you believe that extremist muslim or tribal nations don't have some savage qualities about them?
He said he considers it borderline evil NOT to believe in the innate superiority of himself.

I consider it border-line evil to think that other people deserve worse treatment than myself. If you actually are, say, a woman in Saudi-Arabia and you're fine with not being allowed to drive, running the risk of execution for infidelity and so on, that's one thing. But if you're enjoying my culture, you're damn well going to defend it too. I dislike the hypocrisy that is usually required for cultural or moral relativism.

Yes.  The adjectives used convinced me to vote agree.

So you don't think your ideals are all that important? You could live in any culture that ever existed because they're all civilized and refined?

I believe all are civilized.  What does that have to do with me liking them or wanting to live with them of even approving of them?

What is your definition of civilized then? A civilized society to me is exactly that. A society which I could live in or at least accept as...civilized. Not a society I would consider horrible. A society where women are killed for being unfaithful would not be among them, for isntance.
