Traditions, if they restrict to the appropriate group of people, are to be kept in place.
Win. (Not my statement above, but the whole thread.)

It's as limiting as the church in the middle ages was - and look where "Dark Ages" got us, the science as we know it was punishable by death, all you could was to worship a "God" who was not ashamed to kill many innocents in so called "anti-heresy" trials and crusades.
Traditions should not be dwelled upon nor kept should it set humankind back. Or if they are restricting to one group of people.
And Apophis - Yes. But past is past. Some people learnt from the past, some didn't.
Dark Ages were also Dark Ages for Intelligence and Creativity for me
Oh it was totally stupid, those Inquisition and crusade days...same as Jihad now is. Not much better at all.

Well the history was meant for human kind to learn from it, sadly, we are slow learners as a whole.

Depends what traditions those are, too.
Circumcision (women and on a smaller scale men), forced marriages, are examples of unacceptable traditions.

Well, driving on the left while vast majority of the world drives on the right - you call that normal 
not really, but the american music artist ozzy osbourne frequently bit off live bats' heads in live concerts....i doubt anyone would call that normal either
![[020.gif] :smt020](./images/smilies/020.gif)
I'd like to point out that Ozzy is actually from britain...as is his wife Sharon (as I recall)...
Of course this doesn't change the fact that biting heads off bats was considered less strange here...
(and yes, american football sucks...too many rules)
That said...I'm mostly German/Scottish/Irish...
So keep big knives away from me and you might succeed...lol

To whom it may concern:
We kicked your butt in 1776 for our Independence. Do they not teach that in England?
Do you think the butt kicking would change? Everyone has guns here and your citizen's have none.

US Independence fight wasn't really an "asskicking", honestly.

Pretty much utter failure, just some good luck for the US on a few occasions.
