I hope you saw my follow-up post where I pointed out that I meant to say that I would *NOT* punish the kid.

And I don't think the "When in Rome" saying is about imposing your mores on American culture "in a greater setting", whatever that means. I think it is about social interactions of any scale. It doesn't even specifically target the idea of "imposing" your mores on others, it is simply about respecting local sensibilities, no matter how silly they seem to you. Now, of course, this saying may not apply as universally in the US, which historically is a country of immigrants and a melting pot. However, if your "audience" is primarily composed of people assimilated to mainstream US culture, I still think you ought to consider their customs.[/quote]

I often think that "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" is better advice for a person to give themselves than for one person to give another person -- especially when the other person didn't ask for the advice!

But I think you're basically saying the same thing.[/quote]
