    Could say the same for:

    Politics.

    Religion.

    Ethnic groups.

    Sport teams.

    Cola preference.

    Cutting some bits off your genitals or not.

    Operaring systems.

    Humans are a hoot, huh?

      Politics at its root is ideals about how to structure society though. It does, however, devolve into a team sports mentality in a lot of cases, which is I think what you’re getting at.

        Yea, several of those things have actual qualitative and quantitative measurements on which they can be compared, but far be it from the common dingdong to think in such lofty terms…

      Wait, who the hell is pro genital mutilation!?

      … Oh wait, Jews do circumcision… siiiiigghhhh

      (I’m also aware some areas of India/middle east do FGM too, but I don’t remember if it’s for anything close to religous reasons)
