I think culture is a poor excuse. Behaviors should be examened objectivly and not just condoned due to it being part of a culture. The Thuggies were a culture, so do we excuse ritual strangulation? Nazisim was a culture so due we excuse genocide? Some cultures practiced cannablism, or slavery. Every time I see someone blow off a poor behavior due to it being "cultural" I get inflamed, a la Michael Vick.
