That hypocrisy is disgusting... but I suppose not too surprising. Thank you for the explanation. (You know, people in North America sometimes assert that the customs of the natives in various places are terribly odd. I find the opposite to be true with the sub-cultures within the United States. I feel like some sort of anthropologist trying to understand foreign concepts when I read the news, and in spite of being reasonably fluent in English I find there's still a "language" barrier that's more cultural than linguistic.)
