What do you want your family to do with your body when they stabbed and cooked you?

Did you even read the article? Those dudes killed their cousin because he accidently touched the bride's bottom and then cooked and ate him. What does that have to do with a cultural thing? It's not a cultural thing for the filipinos, and those jerks just committed murder.

In some cultures it is wrong to touch another woman's butt even if it was accidentally.

Pre marital sex - I've seen people get stoned to death for it because they violated a sanctimonious value system
Eating beef - you do that in some parts of the world and they will hunt you down like a rabid animal

But I don't think it's part of their culture to deal with touching of a chick's bottom by killing and cooking that prepatrator. Besides, it's wrong to touch another woman's butt on every culture that I know of. Filipinos are people too you know, it's not like some weird 3rd world nation where they do really strange things.

This is not normal even in phillipines, thats why the cops arrested those dudes: because it's not part of their culture to cook and eat someone who touched someone else's butt.

Well those cultures have a population greater than the whole of the US put together. Makes them less of a minority now doesn't it. My whole family got disowned because of our way of life. It seems stupid, but thats what makes some cultures work and coexist.

Considering that the US makes up only about 4% of the world's population, not really.

I agree the actions were probably caused by drunken stupor, but I am saying that there are still parts of this world we don't know about. There are tribes in New Guinea where a male child becomes a man after he spends a month with the elders of the tribe giving them oral sex. Seems gross and disgusting, but thats what makes people unique.
