Leftists are always saying we should respect other people's cultures

The producers probably won't care because they only want to please the Chinese market

I truly don't care since that is their country and their decision, I don't live there so it doesn't impact me in any way.

If lefties get mad, that is there problem. In their eyes if we should embrace choice and respect culture, we should let the Persian Gulf continue with their business and mind our own. Right? Or is only acceptable if it is THEIR ideals and culture?

[KostasKouvalis]

Thank you. I agree

[Avicenna]

We shouldn't be surprised- it's abhorrent to their societies' values.

[KostasKouvalis]

Okay, but do you think it's a step in the right direction though?

[Avicenna]

It's for them to decide. I think it's right that they don't let others impose their values on them.

[KostasKouvalis]

I know you're an Oman lover so I'm not surprised to hear you say that

[Emma_Walker]

Well good on them. They can do whatever they want too.

[AviatorTom]

Each country has the right to define and enforce its laws and beliefs, even when others may disagree.

[Guy13]

Good. Hopefully the rest of the world will follow suit. Everyone knows it is a crime against nature in Purpose, Form, and Function...

[RyanEC]

Not super surprised.
I don’t expect Will and Grace to be popular in Saudi Arabia.

[KostasKouvalis]

Me neither. Oh Will and Grace has a gay in it?

[QuietRunner]

I believe we must respect these POC, non-Christian, non-colonizer cultural beliefs and ways

[KostasKouvalis]

Very good. You are Democrat?

[QuietRunner]

No I’m a MAGA Republican

[Jenny-Marie]

It is their country, culture and choice. No other nation has the right to interfere.

[TroyDT]

I hate restrictions upon individual liberty as long as the person is not infringing upon the property or person of another.

[KostasKouvalis]

So you think this crack down is a step in the wrong direction?

[Anonymous]

Good. God bless them. They are taking a stand against this crap.

[Anonymous]

They are free to do so if they wish

[KostasKouvalis]

Do you think it's a step in the right direction though?

[MiseriaCantareAFI]

Arab rules, yikes

[jimmy2]

It that Arabic law

[KostasKouvalis]

Do you think it's a step in the right direction though?
