[lojban] Re: OT: all cultures equal?
Quoting Bob LeChevalier <lojbab@lojban.org>:
Perhaps the error is in the word "equal" as well. To say that all
cultures deserve respect does not necessarily require that all cultures
get equal respect. Rather, it means that the range of respect that is
granted should always be above some minimal value, arising from the sum
of the minimum value of the respect due each individual person in that
culture merely for being a human being.

We need not do all cultures the respect of uncritically accepting
their ideas (not hardly!) but here the respect we are discussing is
the basic respect of being honorably named, and I will proudly stand
again behind saying that we as a community should offer that without
hesitation to all peoples on this Earth.
