Cultural relativism

Item: The RCMP in Langley, BC, are on the lookout for a naked man who stole a drive-through Wendy's customer's french fries and then sped off in a van.

How would one translate this story to a member of the Yanomami people? What conclusions about "Canadian culture" might they draw from the above vignette?

Hey! I realize this is sort of off-topic but I needed to ask.

Does managing a well-established website such as yours take a massive amount work?
I am completely new to blogging however I do write in my journal on a
daily basis. I'd like to start a blog so I can share my personal experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!

Good day! I just found your internet site: Blogger:
Dawg's Blawg when I was exploring delicious.com. It looks as though someone loved your website so much they decided to bookmark it. I'll surely be coming back
here more often.

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads
up and let you know a few of the images aren't loading correctly. I'm
not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.

Please let me know if you're looking for a author for your weblog. You have some really good posts and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd really like to write some
content for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please send me an
e-mail if interested. Cheers!

I've loaded your site in Three totally different web browsers and I must say your blog loads a lot faster then most. Would you mind e-mailing me the name of your website hosting company? My personal email is: hermelindatang@gmail.com. I'll even sign

Have you ever considered about including a
little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you
say is valuable and everything. However think about if you added some great images or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"!
Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this website could undeniably be one of the greatest in its niche.
Good blog!

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog
that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this site. It's
simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's hard to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appeal. I must say that you've done a amazing
job with this. In addition, the blog loads extremely quick for me on
Opera. Outstanding Blog!

Have you ever considered writing an ebook or guest authoring on other sites?

I have a blog centered on the same ideas you discuss and would really like to have you share
some stories/information. I know my audience would value your work.

Hello, I am new to blogging and internet sites in general and was curious about how you got the "www" included
in your domain name? I see your domain, "http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13775438&postID=7058651865949010938" has the
www and my domain looks like, "http://mydomain.com". Do you
know the way I can change this? I'm using Wordpress. Warm regards
