Is there really any reason to be this stupid other than old cultural norms? There's nothing like culturally accepted cruelty to start the day. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110504/ap_on_re_as/as_india_no_country_for_little_girls[^]

No I am not. In the culture underdiscussion its the opposite. They are seen as expensive. In the west it is still the father of the bride who pays for the wedding. This itslef reflects the same mentality. Like I said, its not religious, its ciultural.

Thank you, you just confirmed what I said. Its got nothing to do with religion, its cultural. And in fact it pisses me off when I see people picking on religion mistaking it for culture.

Agreed, however is many cases religion and culture are so tightly wound together it is hard to see the difference, even for those who are part of the religion/culture in question.

Yes, its often hard to differentiate, and in fact religion becomes tainted with culture to such an extent the same religions can appear very different in different parts of the world.
