Or to Singapore, and tell them you are free to spit in the streets because culturally it's ok for you. Our laws exist, and other cultures and countries have laws that exist that sometimes clash with outsiders' cultures. You don't just show up somewhere, plant yourself and your culture, and live happily ever after. That is not how life works. I don't care if we have a "global economy." Cultural (and language) barriers exist within borders. And within borders there are specific laws. Another example, if you aren't convinced. In some countries, honor killings are ok. And female genital mutilation. And rape. That is culturally ok. Is it ok for them to bring that culture to America, or should they have to assimilate and obey the law of the land?
If you think that my post had anything to do with saying honor killings, rape or anything of that nature are ok then I'm not even going to dignify myself with a response to you.
Not everything is as black and white as you so eloquently portrayed and there is a lot more to other cultures that don't involve ISIS, Saudi Arabia, or anything of that sort.
