Imposing a set of values to another society with its own set of values shouldn't be done. Ok. But I cannot accept the cutting off of someones hand because they stole something under the heading of “tolerance”, or different set of values. I believe with respect to certain inalianable rights of man there is no “other culture” or society. Culture is how spicy I eat my food, the music I listen to etc. I refuse to believe the stoning of women, oppresion of dissidents or apartheid or some other such non sense should be excused or tolerated.
I agree with you here. Apparently we both share a basic set of humanist values.
Then I would ask how would you define your core values and whose core values would we take into account while determining the set of core values for a society.As I said above I'd much rather draw any such line using the basic human rights as my guide. I actually think your forefathers did a pretty good job of it with the Bill of Rights.
I get my core values from my faith and from my parents, luckily the two are very similar. they also adhere fairly closely to the 18th and 19th century values of the Humanists. I think the founding documents of America are some of the most brilliant documents ever written. I also feel that the values they proclaim are timeless so I agree with you there as well.As to your beliefs, they are personal and neither I nor anyone else has the right or even obligation to tell you that you are wrong. I differ with the church in that respect. But I also think that this is a tolerant attitude to take. People should be free to worship as they choose as long their religious practice does not infringe the liberty of others.You went to a Jesuit school? Small world there, I went to Catholic schools from 1-12th grade because my grandmother insisted. I disliked it at the time but I have come to appreciate it because at least they taught me to think, something very few Americans seem to do anymore. But my screed against the American educational system is properly for another thread entirely.
The Balkan realm can offer you a very good book, but unfortunately so many drawbacks to the Hungarian language. Everything else on the subject. So if you're interested here's the link: http://konyv-konyvek.hu/balkani_birodalom

Unfortunately, there is no translate button, and so we're left in the dark as to what “Balk?ni birodalom” means! 🙁

It is a link to a Hungarian bookseller site page for a book titled "Balk?ni birodalom", which translates to Balkan Empires My Firefox Google toolbar automatically detects and translates other pages if they are not in English unless I turn that option off.

You're right.You also have the Google option : translate, where you can choose from which language (Afrikaans, Yiddish, Azerbaijani, Latin, Urdu, Haitian Creole included, even French) to wich language you want to translate. According to this, the Hungarian book description is grossly translated by: Balkan empireDescription:Ernest Raffai Balkan empire's book (The transyslvanian Empire a revised and expanded edition), the process is illustrated with plenty of half a century, during which the Romanians living in different countries scattered in diplomacy and war - but both fraudulent manner - in a united country. The book is a summary of the old Kingdom of Romania (the Regata) and the Romanians living in Hungary, Eastern political, economic, cultural and educational history, especially the Romanian-Hungarian government and various social organizations in the activities.Read this book first, Count Istvan Tisza and the history of negotiations of Romanians in Transylvania, the Hungarian Prime Minister eszmecser?kkel of understanding between the two nations wanted to foster.
