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.

You're inconsistent, because you simoltaneously agree and disagree with cultural relativity. And how exsactly is stoning peopel to death for adultery NOT RADICAL??? It's extremely radical.

Things like the Holocaust happen when prejudices are fed and encouraged within a society. But the ideea is that the Holocaust was expectable considering the attitude towards jews throughout the centuries. It was a cultural thing. Does that make it right? And why is genocide wrong in your opinion, and can't be subjected to cultural relativity, yet persecuting people individually isn't, and can be viewed as being culturally relative?

It really sounds like you're just trying to be difficult here. You took a simple statement I made about national sovereignty and turn it into an argument over genocide and persecution. 

And you call me inconsistent because I don't care about a person who broke the law in another country being stoned but I "draw the line" at genocide? So you'd be happier if I was for genocide because then I wouldn't be inconsistend?
