I love how it's nigh impossible to accuse someone of being self-righteous without coming off as self-righteous about it.

Still don't see how you can justify the treatment elves receive. They don't have a reputation for being thieves (except the bosmer, I guess). Also, what's the point of even having ethics or morals if you're just going to adapt them to your environment? For example, I might someday travel to the USA. Still won't change my views on stuff like corporal punishment, capital punishment, gun control, equality and all that other stuff they're decades behind on. You can't really judge someone/something by anything other than your own views. Even the OP did that, although he came to a different conclusion than the people he was criticizing. Who was being hypocritical again?

The alternative would be just going with the flow and not decide whether anything's right or wrong, but very few are that apathic.
