You are good at getting thins accross, now for my fumblings

If the comments were from people with vastly differing cultural backgrounds to you then they are bound to differ from yours.

I am sure you will have view points on what you see happening within these cultures.

The thing in my oppinion about web forums is people can say things they would only think in real life.

Some of them, like me can't put themselves accross properly.

And some of them believe what they are saying and actually believe it is the way to be.

I'm sure you will be ok, you are strong willed and passionate and I am sure you would stand up for such injustices where ever you see them.

But we are all different.

This will sound a bit naff but;

George Washington said to someone I can't remember who;

"I disagree with everything you say, but I will fight with all my strength to defend your right to say it."
