I have full respect for foreign countries nor do I look down on people (or so I would like to think).

That's all I have to say ;)

How so?

You seem to be resentful towards the West because of your perception that Western ideas have infiltrated Eastern culture. This is just as bad as those Westerners who perceive Eastern culture as inferior.

Why?

Because you make the mistake of giving ideas an identity. There is no such thing as Western ideas, Eastern ideas etc. if you think about it. The only kinds of ideas I can think of are good ideas and bad ideas. Ideas that work and ideas that don't.

If you were to ask me (a Westerner) I would tell you that one of the most stupid and irrational ideas that has come about in the world is theistic religion which is perpetuated to the biggest extent, in the West and the Middle East.

So there are plenty of bad ideas in the West too.
