Why you believe what you believe I

brownjenkins,

You keep saying there is no absolute but you clearly judge societal actions by a standard which you do treat as absolute: your assessment of the relative benefit of the goals of the society. Hitler and his cronies had goals for Germany, but you say those were "bad"; Britain, France, and Spain had goals for North America; Amerindians had goals as well. You are clearly applying your standard to different cultures and judging them and ranking them. WHY is what brownjenkins says correct, as say opposed to inked or Hitler or Victoria or Chief X ?
