  Re: Horrible quote from the Scala web catalog
 
(...) It brings up a thorny question of cultural relativism. Do we just shrug and say hey, difference of culture, or is it okay to say, no, that's not right, no matter what culture you're in there are some basic principles of human equality which (...)

(...) _An_ important thing. And yes, pleasing your Significant Other, if it is possible to do so without compromising your own morals, _is_ an important thing. Regardless of your sex. Jasper (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.scala)
 
  Re: Horrible quote from the Scala web catalog
 
I agree, Tamy. I've discussed this general topic with a few Danish women and they hardly saw anything wrong with such statements as the one quoted. There is an interesting book, which I'm sorry to say I've only read a fraction of, titled: Americans (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.scala, lugnet.general)

That is bad, though since I'm taking Sociology this semester, I have to look at how the culture of where this company exists is much different than ours in the US.

  Horrible quote from the Scala web catalog
 
The basic existence of a special dumbed-down and pinked-up segment of the LEGO universe designated for girls (and the corresponding boys-only restriction for Technic and even System) is bad enough, but check out this quote from the Scala web site: (...)
