I DARE you to name a culture that believe it is acceptable to deceive people.

I was born and raised in Asia for the first half of my life, and spent the 2nd half in the Western Culture. But neither side ever said it was okay to lie and cheat. Please, tell me, which country or culture on this planet could you name, that consider informed consent unnecessary in a contract?

Because Asians take contracts very seriously, I can assure you.
