if I listen very, VERY carefully… somewhere in the distance, I can hear the cries of some culture (or subculture) being greatly offended by something about me i don’t even think about. I know this because I went to bible college with a lot of people who studied other cultures, and I married one of those culture studying types. If there is one thing i know about us westerners, its that we tend to offend people who aren’t westerners. I used to use the line “well, in some cultures” quite often, until I started dating Diana, and she would just be like “…nope.”
Oh, cultures.
