Unethical

I have one daily guilty pleasure and that is reading Gawker. Gawker has no redeeming qualities, no real content, obsesses over NYC publishing gossip and socilaites and has only one tone: snark.

But I keep comig back for those few and far between worthwhile posts, like the Unethicist.

Example:

Two years ago, I lived in Singapore, and my apartment was robbed. Recently, when I returned, I found that the robber was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 10 strokes of the cane. The sentence seems excessive and the caning barbaric. I want to appeal for mercy on his behalf, but must I accept Singaporean justice? When in Asia, do I do as the Asians do?

It is, and has always been, the white man's role on this planet to decide what is best for every one.
