I was gonna write about what exactly I mean by that, but it's too much to write.

Besides, everyday there's gonna be more of these traditions and games of humans that only use pain to entertain those that watch, or even to satisfy religious beliefs, or simply to make money with it of course.

I can't get a laugh out of this torture, seriously.

Because of culture, bull fighting is acceptable. Because of culture, a lot of cruel rodeo sports are allowed to go on or cruel treatment of animals and people in many countries. Sickening. Culture is no excuse. Ever. Humans are supposed to be smart but I think they are blinded by vast amounts of selfishness.

As for human cruelty that exists because it's part of the "culture", I will do bring one example here now.

Female genital mutilation.

Numbers of girls (often babies) getting mutilated in a year: 2'000'000. Numbers of mutilated women and girls (those who died not included) in the world: 130'000'000.

Go look in Wikipedia what it means for them to live like that. It's something that can never be healed once it has happened. It's painful, and it makes the usual sufferings of being a woman (period, sex, pregnancy, birth) even WORSE. For the rest of their lifes.

Comments disabled because this is an old stamp and everybody can go on and on about what else sucks about cultures.
