Even though that's a lame post that hardly dignifies a response I'll say the same thing I said to Joecool7. The attempted killing of an entire race (genocide) is not even remotely similar to a law concerning adultery. Of course we have to step in and stop genocide attempts. 

How would you like it if whatever country you were from suddenly became weak and the US or China or whoever decided to come in and force you to change all your laws to their liking? Do you want some other country telling you that you can't do this and can't do that but have to do this...?

Don't be upset, and don't insult my post. It's not my fault that you're inconsitent.

This mere law you're talking about implies torturing and killing people because of adultery. It's inhumane and should not be happening ANYWHERE! Just because some backwards society made it one of their laws doesn't make it right. And if you're advocating for such cultural relativism, then you shouldn't have anything against the Holocaust. After all, it was a policy created by the German state, and the general population seemed to agree with it (didn't see them rising up and protesting against it). This policy was also a high point of a cultural phenomenon that began in the Middle Ages and was made popular by Chrsitians, so it could definately be viewed as being compatible with the culture of Germany.

Stop being a hypocrite. Either you're for cultural relativism of this level, or you're against it.

How am I inconsistent and how are the holocaust and stoning to death of adulterers (nothing new or radical) anything similar?

I'm for a nations sovereignty to make their own laws but of course when it reaches the stages of genocide or something crazy then we have to step in.
