[edit] Hospitality article

Excellent piece. Clarification on a obtuse concept. 212.134.20.129 13:20, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Horrible format. Confusing. Should be taken down. 66.252.131.146 20:33, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Short and one sided, ancient hospitality is hardly limited to the East. It was supposed to be a primary concern of honor amongst the celts, think I recall reading once that you could wander Ireland or pre-Roman Britain homeless and never be without food or a roof. Something about providing entertainment in return aswell I think. Still in practice in alot of nomadic tribes I believe, if you step foot in a Mongolian yurt they're supposed to fill you a cup of kumis, and fill it again when its finished, if you leave without finishing I think they poor it back or something. Hardly anything to do with the Middle East, most cultures had it at one point. I think I even remember that as recently as the Troubles it has some impact, something about the Irish starving themselves, which in Celtic society was supposed to be a great insult to the host, to let someone die of starvation while under you hospitality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 20:03, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
