Can war ever be an excuse for rudeness?
Is morality measurable? Many people who think Tony Blair fought an immoral war would find it hard to believe that he’d cheat on his wife.
Was J.M. Barrie a drooling insectivore? What manner of man writes such sentences as “all children are born half bird” and “when they [the Lost Boys] seem to be growing up, which is against the rules, Peter thins them out”. He thins them?
Can a person “have” a culture, and take it with them abroad, or is it an interpersonal thing?
