    You have to respect people. You don’t have to respect ideas.

    Passively expressing disinterest in another’s ideas is part of the very nature of humanity, and is absolutely not disrespect.

      Realistically there are two reasons you’re going there, one is because you have a business obligation or potential contract which incentivizes going there, and two is because you got conned by tourist bait ads that try to hush hush all this stuff because it drives people away.

    I’m not inheritly against different cultures wanting to maintain their values, but I definitely wish people could freely enter and leave their culture.

    In the case of Qatar, I can imagine not many women would be interested in staying if it was super easy to switch cultures, but at the same time cultures around the world are beautiful, even if different, and it’s a shame that they can’t be preserved.

      Cultures evolve like anything else. Even language is constantly evolving. Preserving cultures is for museums, not for a growing society. I think that’s part of the reason we are in such a shitty place everywhere. 2024 and there’s still racist homophobic idiots everywhere trying to preserve the “good ol days”

        I feel like homosexuality and making fun of religion might get you into hot water regardless of gender.
