[quote=GRYOKAN,254877]JC, Whilst your view makes some sense in your world, it should be realised (since you have a Chinese girlfriend) that in China & E.Asian societies, there has been this structured cultural & moral environment over the last 2000 yrs. The beauty of this is that there is some uniformity in determining what is "right" and "wrong", etc amongst the people brought up in this environment. And such cultural/moral education are part as well as over/above the general laws of the country. So, you will see that the Chinese, Koreans & Japanese would most likely see this post as a moral issue but not the rest of the world where such issues vary more from individual to individual, as you said. An example : your Chinese girlfriend will generally not know what to expect of you when faced with a "common" issue(to her) but will know how a Chinese man would view it. Therein lies what most of us term as "cultural differences".[/quote]
