At one time we (the English) cut the lips off anybody speaking Welsh (or Gaelic if you prefer) and now we find they (the Welsh) are totally absorbed into our culture!
We were responsible for the wholesale depopulation of Scotland and Ireland to America, now we are best of buddies (since our troops left Ireland ..... and Scotland for that matter)

I personally do not understand why a group of villagers should turn on one of their neighbors and hack him to death with big knives, or take a girl off to a village to be gang raped! But then again I am not part of the cultures involved, so my right to be indignant is somewhat reduced!

One thing I do note however is that people the world over will act in a different way when they are in a crowd. Not much of an excuse, but the best you will get from me!
