      Well since you agree that pretty much all cultures did these things which culture today is better? Has better values and freedoms than the West.

        I can’t stress enough, and have explained many times, how disinterested I am in declaring a “winner.” Eastern and western cultures antedated civilization and influenced each other in ways that you ignore. This is integral to the discussion of cultures and invalidates cultural braggadocio.

        Please define what western chauvinism means, since it’s your original term. This is the context of the discussion.

          I’ll rescind it and apologize if you admit that liberals aren’t motivated by Marxist ideology but other more nuanced factors.

                He's asking a fair enough question. To be honest I'd be interested in knowing the answer as to how widespread slavery as we understand it was.

                  It definitely IS a fair question, but it's predicated upon moral relativism.

                  As an atheist, I'm quite comfortable with such things, but as a fundamentalist Christian, he's not supposed to be buying into it.

                    Slavery still widespread. It's called "child trafficking." I'm not sure why the reality of child trafficking gets virtually ignored in comparison to the myth of "systemic racism."

                      Norman culture didn't practice slavery. The closest thing they had was serfdom, but while the lives of serfs were controlled by the local lords and they were often considered to belong to an estate, they could own property and weren't treated as possessions and sold as goods. While slavery existed in Britain before and during the Roman occupation and persisted for some time afterwards, it ceased after the Norman conquest. While some servants and serfs were effectively treated like slaves, slavery was never a part of any British system of law.

                        Are you kidding? So Britain was not involved in the slave trade? Brits did not import slaves to the Colonies and Islands and use them? So what was the whole Witherspoon thing?

                          Normans just practiced genocide.

                          One glaring example is the great evil visited on the Anglo-Saxon population by the Norman Conquest of 1066. By any standard, the effect on indigenous English society was enduring devastation. Through war, invasion and genocide, the Anglo-Saxon ruling class was almost entirely replaced, control of the church and state surrendered to foreign adversaries, English replaced by Norman French as the language of government, and England’s entire political, social and cultural orientation shifted from Northern Europe to the continent for the next thousand years.

                            Since you are apparently unable or unwilling to substantiate your accusation, then I accept your apology.
