Since I live less than 500 miles from where Markus lives (switzerland to
germany) our cultures should be pretty similar.
Your view is interesting, but I still prefer a kind tone when speaking with
others. While I like it when someone expresses his opinions very honestly, I
dislike it very much when it is not done in a respectfull and kind tone.
Even in the farest culture, respect and kindness are high moral values. I
think, there is no need to be agressive, and so I raised my word. I Will now
fall in silence again as before.....I'm only a lurker, and seldom feel the
need to post something.
