I only meant that honor killings (which I think are appalling) are part of the same set of standards that you suggest we revert to. You can't have one without the other.
I'm not confused about what an honor killing is. |
wrong. you can have a capital punishment without having honour killings, just look south of our border.
also, the honour killings you refer to aren't the generally accepted practice by the population of the countries where they occur, they are simply the product of remote, tribal, ignorant cultures that continue to persist today. while I agree that the government of those countries should take a stance and eradicate that sort of behaviour (holding them partially guilty) I don't think you can make a sweeping generalization like you have.
ps. Scarborough is badass, but I hope the victim survives
