One can only hope so. -
I suppose it depends on one's definition of "immoral"
-
Is stupidity a form of immorality?-
willful stupidity, yes
-
-
I think that immorality is a judgment issue - and well - I don't judge anyone - except those who HURT purposefully others.
I mean - I wouldn't be doing a pole dance at a Catholic church - that's disrespectful - but I don't mind if someone wants to be doing a naked pole dance - yanno?
I mean - sex, lifestyle, etc. Is all a choice that people SHOULD be able to make.
Hurting others - is not.
But overall - nah - immorality is just a figment of someone else's imagination - or lack thereof. -
In the OP, i was referring to Universally (or near universally) recognized immorality... like the rape of a child, or cold blooded murder... stuff like that.
-
Oh well - rape of a child - murderers - that kind of immorality - those boogers need to be done to them - what they do to others.
-
1000 times over.
For example - buggery - get buggered...
Murder? Get tortured to death SLOWLY - one piece of skin at a time... with salt and vineagar on the wounds. -
a bit off topic there

Unfortunately, when you are so used to seeing or living in your own culture, you will inevitably have judgement issues with foreign cultures. What Americans are in America may not be who they are when they come to live in Asia or other parts of the world. Culture is quite dynamic, can be learnt, adapted and assimilated. Thus the form called cultural exchange.
It is difficult for many to travel out of their own culture to experience other people's culture, because of financial reasons or obligations which they cannot leave behind. So for them, they are isolated.
I recently joined a website called culture crossing, which does seem promising in connecting with other people I can never get to meet because of geographical location issues.

I love languages. Naturally I become drawn towards topics on culture and they both go hand in hand. -
America is characterized by a full-fledged dominion of quantity which René Guenon prophesized, for the Western World, in his book "Sign of the Times, and the Reign of Quantity". Quantity is the anti-metaphysical viewpoint, in a philosophical sense. -
Just because it is allowed, doesn't mean everybody does it. I still believe that a lot of people hold what is in their conscience. yes the media was blowing it all off but hey, it doesn't apply to all. So no. -
*wishing he had written the OP more clearly*
)_( -
yes!! its becoming assome in these parts! -
American's culture is not long because of short history. There are two forces pulling each others, I believe new America type of moral concept will prevail sooner and later. -
In a way yes. While I disagree that more traditional lust, greed, wrath type immorality is on the rise, I do see an America that is largely becoming weaker and more inept and slovenly and incapable. -
from MPOV, American recognize stupidity like no other
