The West is easily the Best. There's just no comparison. That said, I respect other's cultures, their right to their own culture. I can still believe my own culture to be the best because all the evidence supports that West is Best, that some cultures ARE better than others.

You would first have to define what you mean by 'good'. Most cultures contribute something of value but what makes one 'good' as opposed to 'bad' and who gets to decide which is which? After all, you cannot see the light without the dark...

The West is the Best, that is why I hope those coming over here will see that and change. I know it may not happen, but that is all I can do.

I voted the west is the best even though we have our bad and are no way perfect. By watching all the constant chaos in the east we are still by far the most humane

Isn't IQ still a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15? You just put him as smarter than 97% of the population. That's quite the insult...

Great video

Human cultures can be quite cruel, actually, but I don't believe all cultures are equally cruel. The West is the least bad, so, yes, it is the "best", though I don't like how biased it sounds.

I'm not sure necessarily we can make completely a judgement call about one being superior...... depends on what you value and judge it against. I don't have a problem looking at cultures that make homosexuality as illegal and kills them.... values severe oppression of women.... yes, that is a culture that is dangerous and backwards.
This is not to say we completely have our act together, but we are extremely lucky to live here.

That’s an utter cop out. No culture is perfect. But to preference your statement with “ it depends “...... no sir. It does not depend. If I value raping little boys and judge that to be fine..... no. An argument I am unwilling to accept and one that leads to moral and culture relevancy . There can be no equation between a culture that kills homosexuals or rapes young boys and one that prizes and praises, albeit not perfectly, equality and freedom.

@Boardwine.... there are eastern cultures that have many freedoms and function well. They have different values. They have different religions. Are they bad? No. The cultures in India, modern Japan.... a case could be made for Russia.... these are flawed but still respectable cultures. Would I prefer our culture? Yes.

@Slavey oh my little nitwit....such a poor reader. Sad really. When did I call @SeanT any names?I made a statement and looked forward to hearing his response. And he made a very valid point in his response. The Eastern cultures didn't come readily to mind and they function quite well. You see my small minded stalker, if you open a dialog and then actually read what has been written with an open mind ,others can help expand your gaze and bring new perspectives to light. Now....shouldn't you be off somewhere hating the jews? Go on....run along.....surely there are other far more intelligent people than yourself you must stalk....or am I the only one?

@Slavey What is it with your obsessive hatred of the jews dumdum? And why are you expecting me to play their defender? I'm a Baptist. I don't hate the jews but I don't hold them high esteem either. I'm fairly neutral. I judge individuals based on their merit not the groups(s) to which they belong. Really dude, if you have something new to say by all means....but let's put the jew thing to bed....it's getting old.

@Slavey all caps dumdum? I'd have more respect for you if you didn't try to hide your hatred for a group of people.Anyway.....once again, if you have something new to say then say it. If you want someone to argue the contributions of the Jewish people to Western culture maybe try tweeting at Ben Shapiro or go over to the fan group on this site.

@Slavey Look dumdum, your 3rd grade insults are only reinforcing the fact that you are as bright as a box of rocks. I'm really getting bored with you. It was fun to trigger a nitwit and you are most certainly a nitwit of the highest order. But if you don't come up with something better, IDK, maybe an original idea or even a coherent statement I'm going to block you. BTW you do realize that rightwing and sjw are mutually exclusive terms right?
mutually exclusive adjective
Definition of mutually exclusive
: being related such that each excludes or precludes the other
Just in case you didn't understand the terminology I've include the definition. You're welcome.DumDum

@Slavey You own words belie your hatred for that group. But what is beyond my understanding is the fact that you somehow assume that I have a great affection for the jewish people. The reason it's called Judeo-Christian(values, culture , etc,etc.) is that Judaism predates and is the root belief system from which Christianity sprung. You'd have a better understanding of this if you ever read a book. And why you insist on the juvenile insults is incomprehensible. Do you honestly think that.any grown man will be disturbed by being called a "fag" or a "pussy" or a "Baptist goat fucker". I am not a homosexual nor a burning bundle of twigs any more than I am a female reproductive organ or afraid of physical conflict. I am indeed a Baptist but I've never had sexual relations with a goat. Although I do like goats. They're funny and they eat poison ivy which is useful when you live in the county. As I do. Now if you'd be so kind as to get over your little temper tantrum at having been so thoroughly trounced intellectually, and get back to more reasonable discourse, it'd be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you have a hard time understanding any of these words, I'll gladly forward definitions for you since I know it must be difficult living with such a massive learning disability.

@Slavey Actually it would be Judeo-Christian-Islamic. DumDum. Mohammed was born in 600 A.D. And as for numbers...they're called Hindu-Arabic numerals. Because they originated in India and were introduced to Europe by Arabs. You are just plain stupid. Almost all languages have roots in Latin/Greek dumdum. At least all European languages. I did go to "Bible school" I also went University of Maryland and John Hopkins University as well. Did you have a point? Could you at least come up with some new insults? Retard? How old are you? 13? Anyhoo......you are undoubtedly one the most moronic humans I've encountered. Your writing is rudimentary at best, your observations are obtuse , your insults are pedestrian. Could you please go stalk someone less intelligent, or at the very least someone more patient than myself. You are really very boring.

@Slavey No, in fact you are so wrong that it hardly requires correction. The Judeo-Christian value/belief system is fundamental to the existence of Western culture. I'm unsure as to what part of this you find hard to understand. But I can't help you defeat your learning disabilities.I'm not a special educator. I'm sure there are programs and assistance for people like you in your area. Adult day school maybe? If you let me know your zip code I'd be willing to search out some local charities that work with the mentally handicapped. Don't worry Mr. Potato.....we're in this together.....

@Slavey
I don't think we need to call names. That seems unnecessary. The Judeo Christian values are the central basis of our society. Actually the old testament is a fairly violent book and even military tactics are described that we still use today. There is that whole 10 commandments thing that is still the basic central idea behind western values and laws. The Jewish people have made many important contributions to science and humanities, philosophy, literature, cinema, art, political movements, economics, technology, inventions and the list can go on.
