You certainly don't argue or write like you studied anything but Glenn Beck's wikipedia page.

Can you please explain to me how I am 'trashing' freedom, and human rights? Cultural rights ARE human rights.

And please explain to me how Karl Popper somehow supports your theory of 'objective value.' Popper's arguments concern the contingency of analyses. Contingency, not objectivity.

I only reserve the ad hom's for close-minded dipshits like yourself.

Popper also wrote the books "Objective Knowledge" and "In Search of a Better World". These titles are perhaps a giveaway.

Throughout he advocates the existence of objective truth, and things like the possibility of a "better" world. He is no relativist. He thinks some ideas and values are better than others. He makes explicit statements (and arguments) in favor of objective ethics in, e.g., _The World of Parmenides_, ch 2, addendum 2. Also of course he favors the open society and thinks it is better than the closed society.
