Human Rights and "Western-Bias", and Culture

[knot]

I see, so Human Rights is not exactly a good appeal as to why Child Brides and Aisha were bad, but because the act of doing so harms the child, as we can see from the effects of child marriages and pedophilia we see today. We can safely assume that the same damage is done in the past and have no reason otherwise to think so.

But what about the Human Rights? Why does it or does it not Transcend culture.

Yeah. The human brain hasn't changed significantly the last 50000 years, so if 9 year old girls are traumatized by paedophilia today, it's likely they also were in the 7th cent.

Human rights are primarily based on analyzing the consequences of actions, so for the most part they're fine. But they are too narrowly defined to deal with the hard cases. For example, when is torture okay? When is it okay to revoke someone's citizenship? According to the human rights, the answer to those questions would be: never. But we know that can't be right. We can easily think of a situation where torturing someone is absolutely the right thing to do. So it's always best to go on a case by case basis and look at the bad and good consequences of actions

I see, thanks.

Don't bullshit your way out of this.

Don't bullshit your way out of this.

That was irrelevant on the topic at hand, it does not contribute to the discussion. Being done by many people, and many people at their time does not absolve them.

How?

And vice versa.

And vise versa. Vise versa what exactly?

Do I really have to spell this out?

I never said that it was, I'm just saying you could have used a better comparison.

And i'm saying that it's fine for me.

So out of all the comparisons you could have chosen, you chose the one that can't be compared to the other in the grand scheme of things.
