  1. I think it is very sad.

    We are raised to believe that insults are cool, and that changing our minds about things is a weakness. Think about what makes the crowd cheer in the audience--it is very often when someone comes up with a very clever way of insulting somebody else.  Unfortunately, insulting people does not add understanding or help us to work through our differences.  

    I teach writing in college, and I have a huge job trying help my students to really understand why the believe what they believe, to be willing to change their minds when their experiences suggest that they might be wrong.

    They don't understand that the most powerful way to win in a dispute is to be able to articulate your needs and show how they can be easily met.


  2. not irritating actually... upsetting

    it's so sad people have problems with logic and use such methods as turning on voice volume or rude words

    and they really believe it should work

    :(

  3. haha, yes.

    Humans are irritating period.

    But i like to look at the good things about them.
