Quote:I don't want to be a provocative asshole, but I can't come and insult you in front of you. How about I insult you right here? Would that make me less of a provocative asshole?Words really don't count here. I don't know you, you don't know me. We do not look into eachother's eyes, we do not see eachother's faces, so insulting me right here will simply cause me to end the conversation because I can do that here. Though I cannot end the conversation in real life situations. I have something that I call pride and self-respect. When someone insults me, he has to pay a price, for I am no dog that you can spit on that will walk away after that.
Civilized people, on the other hand, have more freedom, they can be trusted with a lot more and are usually well behaved when having sex, drinking alcohol, making business deals, looking after their wives and children and even when they walk around naked in public.
Uncivilized people need very strict rules like Sharia law.
Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.
