[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 2112199, member: 11132"] Unfortunately, as you too may have also concluded, over at least the last 5-10 yrs, personal attacks .....being rude insulting vilifying is becoming or has become main stream as to how we are being given examples of dealing with differing opinions. Especially in the epidemic of "one-upmanship" in the area of tolerance, ethics, political, and social beliefs etc... It went from political weapons to finally weapons used to boost self importance. If someone does not compitulate to "my" views immediately move to personal attacks and threats etc........ Two current threads in this forum have examples of this. Its become so common place I doubt people even notice they are doing it at times. How many times do we see a comment about whatever topic that goes like this "............anyone that would think otherwise has to be a complete idiot" So right off the bat the person has labeled anyone with a differing opinion an idiot. Comments like that and much more direct are all over the place. My grandfather had a large hand in molding my ethical core and he was a strong believer there was a very good reason we have 2 eye 2 ears 2 nostrils 2 hands 2 feet even 2 distinct sides to the brain but yet only one mouth (communication). The later should be the least used and much thought and consideration should happen before its use. It maybe right or wrong but it has served me well. Never rush and always take the time to be very clear and concise in what you say; always consider your audience and how it will be translated to them as best you can. Speak to everyone as if they were a guest in your home...better yet you a guest in theirs. IMO, words and the control of them are the most dangerous weapons in our world today as its never been easier to reach so many without having to truly take personal responsibility for them or to stifle them. I would say words (comms) have lead to more tragedy, suffering, and death then any other aspect of humanity. We have also never been more flippant and careless with them. They are more weaponized than possibly anytime in human history. [/QUOTE]
