your both right. My ex was In America on a work visa and we fell in love. His parents were so shocked and offended that he was with an American girl that they talked him into breaking up with me. They convinced him that all Americans get divorced. but to be honest we had out rockey points anyway. He could not stand me driving or having a job and kept telling me his mother is dependent on his father and they are just fine.

I would just like to mention that not all ignorant/eurocentric people are American, and not all Americans are ignorant and euro or ethnocentric. I agree that the comments you were upset by were made by people ignorant of your way of life and cultural history (and quite offensive, tbh), but I would just like to add in that as an American, I don’t appreciate being thrown in with their lot simply because of my homeland.

Thank you, though, for giving us a better insight on the situation.

Are you saying you’ve never dated someone, then broke up with them? The first person you were with, you married? Because if otherwise, you’re being a hypocrite.

“That this man led this girl on, had his fun, and then made excuses as to why he couldn’t marry her after.”

He dated her, didn’t want to date her anymore, then was forced to marry her. Regardless of culture, that’s wrong.

Hahaha he ran away? Maybe, unlike you, he doesn’t spend 12 hours a day on the computer, waiting for someone to comment on his post, so he could reply instantly. Maybe he said what he wanted to say, then went grocery shopping, or hiking, or went to work.

It’s amusing you think you’ve won. You both lost. Congratulations, you made an anonymous person on the internet stop responding to you. How does that give you any sort of higher ground? If anything he simply did not feel like trying to speak a different view to someone who would not listen to it.

There is no point in talking to a wall, which both you and ben were. You both had your opinions and both are not going to change them. All you did was make the both of yourselves look like foolish children bickering.

Also, I think the point of ben’s arguments was missed because everyone was too busy jumping onto the RASIST! bandwagon. But I know it’s not worth trying to explain because it would simply lead to another post bickering another view once again.

All I honestly have to add in regards to my own view is that all cultures are a bit fucked up and need changed. But then again, I know it’s a part of culture for it to change with time. Besides, we’re all assuming all of human kind has the same moral compass. There will never be a time when all of humanity can agree upon what is right and what is not. So while we wish we could give freedom or justice to everyone, there will always be someone who disagrees with your view of what freedom or justice is. Always.
