? I was asking if you thought that the propagation of a certain dynamic between two cultures was unproductive. How is that related to whether or not you represent a forum?
The pursuit of good, humanity getting along together as a cohesive whole and being happy, etc
Why does that matter? You don't have to hold someone in high regard to care about them.
"High regard" is a relative measure anyway, not an absolute one. It doesn't make sense to hold the general population in "high regard" because the general population is by definition average, whereas "high regard" is by definition reserved for those who are above average.
Unless you meant "Regard" as "general concern for" ...in which case I have no answer, since that's a moral thing.
Because you start with me being disdainful and then switch to the issue of the forum being disdainful.
That's pretty meaningless handwaving. Among other things, humanity has never been and does not look likely to become in the foreseeable future "a cohesive whole". This is a good thing.
Because we are talking about "being disdainful" and "making fun of". That's not a discussion about caring, that's a discussion about holding in high regard or not.
I am glad we agree :-P
