That is completely civil. It is just to the point and adamant rather than fake and simpish and overly polite. Whether what I stated is true or untrue, the nature of what I said was not derogatory or insulting. I specifically stated that the person supports something, and in my opinion, blindly. I also stated he doesn't care about something and I ALSO implied most of the population of the world doesn't care EITHER. Those are words that are forceful But civil. You are totally not comprehending the difference between civility and servitude. Learn to put force, power and truth behind your conviction while being civil and not being afraid to harm the other persons precious feelings.

> Learn to put force, power and truth behind your conviction while being civil and not being afraid to harm the other persons precious feelings. Calling them "precious" feelings sort of belies the idea that you're just talking facts in a forceful way. If you struggle to separate your disdain for people who disagree with you then that's a chance to grow, or a chance to dig your heels in. Seems you've made your choice; hopefully one day you'll reverse it.

  >Calling them "precious" feelings sort of belies the idea that you're just talking facts in a forceful way. Feelings shouldn't be precious. They should be disregarded. When communicating a point, if disdain is felt it should be presented. If it is not felt then it shouldn't be presented. >If you struggle to separate your disdain for people who disagree with you then that's a chance to grow, or a chance to dig your heels in. I hold disdain for certain people. But not for all people who disagree with me. Clearly what you're saying is completely false. Growth to me is not the ability to separate disdain from disagreement. Growth is the ability to not hide your disdain. To express it when it's required. To you I am not expressing disdain. You only perceive it as such because you disdain what I am saying. The reality is, I'm the same as you. I'm quite well off. The difference between us, is that I don't twist reality or morality to justify my sins. I knew you were rich and well off, because I am rich and well off. Why would I disdain someone like me? The only difference between us is that I don't lie to myself.
