apple and oranges are they both not edible, round and fruity ?
And you missed my point entirely.
I never once said that one culture was "right", or that another was "wrong", did I? No...I said, that they are different. Have you ever been to, or even spoken with, people raised in Non-"Western Culture" countries? Those of us who have been born and raised in the so-called "Western" countries have very little concept of the cultures of other countries. We take freedom of speech for granted. We take having a family of the size we choose for granted. There are countries in this world who do not enjoy certain freedoms, and who's citizens form opinions of the world based solely on what their Governments allow to be filtered into the country. This is not a uniquely Chinese issue.
Do not presume to label me a racist. While it may not seem "fair", or "racially acceptable", the hard truth is that those of us who live in a "Western" society often have no idea how people from other countries are taught to perceive us.
U noć idem, sjećanje jedan trn od zalosne, dalje prema smrti.
Into the night I go, memory a thorn of sorrow, onward toward death.
Death feels like the butterfly, can't escape the scarred lie

So, drifting through the dark
The sympathy of night's mercy inside my heart
Is your life the same? Do ghosts cry tears? Do they feel years?
As time just goes on and on and on
