Is it, or is it not your belief that we have an objective, universal, timeless standard by which we can judge moral behavior?
If so, then your statement that we can't judge the morality of cultures from past eras is utter horseshit.
No, I'm saying that people with time have changed and conform to moral standards. Man kind hasn't improved on women issues, women around the world, even in this country are sold into many different slavery. Sexual slavery is the biggest, and porn is the largest part of that, the suicide rate of those in porn is large, they believe it's their only way out and if you do not believe me research it for yourself. Most people just turn their heads to this atrocities and pretend they do not exist, just so they can enjoy what you would call immoral in ancient times.

You're so far out of context here it's not even funny. What on earth does the above have to do with the your statement that we can't judge the morality of past cultures? Because we're also flawed? Well, duh. No shit, Sherlock.
And this...
Quote:Man kind hasn't improved on women issues
...is utter bullshit. "hasn't improved" - something tells me you don't know what one of those words means. I'd agree that we haven't improved *enough* but that's a far cry from not having improved *at all*.
