Kissing cheeks and holding hands is different from bowing and showing

To you, bowing is showing subservience. Bowing is showing respect in many
cultures.

Opinions vary, cultural customs don't mean much when you are ignorant of
them.

If you are going to bow to one monarch shouldn't you bow to all of them?


Depends on the culture?

A king is considered royalty. Shouldn't you show royalty respect?



It was probably better than when Bush, Sr. puked on that guy's lap... which
I had to admit was pretty funny.
