I admittedly love to discuss a wide variety of topics here on Yahoo! Answers.

But what sadden's me, is that people can't disagree with one another without using vulgarity or cursing.

How can we earn each other's respect, if we can't respect our differences.

If we can't communicate with grace and civility, to show that we can get along even if we disagree.

Voltaire said it best.

"I may disagree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."

I am not expecting people to be perfect or not real, but isn't all this angry divisiveness a sign that our culture has lost touch with those common bonds that unite and unify us?

Is there no room to acknowledge our mutual respect and love and kindness?

Thank you for listening to my weird question
FYI, I am a 49 year old man Thank you for your good answers. I think this is what sadden's me about our modern era. And why can't we make this a more friendly and polite world? I suggest/urge that all of us in the next week, try harder to be friendlier and more polite!! We can change the world if we work at it. Imagine a better world, then go do it!
