  • Sometimes my comments are seem as rude but what you guy s should know is that I live in a different society and we have a different culture here. My answers reflect all this. For example here someone who does not believe in God is a weirdo. Depression is not an excuse for doing nothing and wasting your life. If you don't succeed it's because you have not made enough effort. That's what normal here.

    I tend to forget that the majority of INNers are americans and europeans.

    If ever I have offended someone here I excuse myself. I'm very sorry.

    • I agree with the OP, you are an asset here and I've never seen you as rude. Personally, I enjoy hearing perspectives that are not American or European. It's one of the things I love about the internet.

      I think people often get caught up with their own views and shut out perfectly logical ways of viewing the world. It seems so different from what we are accustomed to. This site gives us a chance to question our own beliefs and conditioning. We all have inner voices that tell us what is and is not normal.

      People play with that here. It's hard to know what is fake and what is a real concern. And some people like to poke just to get a reaction. Trolls feed off of this forget that their words do have power. Actually, I don't think they care. They often just want attention, at whatever cost.

    • I have never found your posts to be rude. You say what you think. You call a spade a spade. Sometimes you can be straightforward and abrupt. Sometimes you pre-emptively apologize if you're mistaken which is pretty decent. Sometimes you're very supportive and helpful. All in all, you're an asset to the community.

      All I know is that you're from an island in Africa. Your English is very good so maybe it is Seychelles, where English is one of the official languages. I am not American or European and I, too, have found that what is completely normal here is sometimes totally unacceptable in the US so it's not ALWAYS helpful to post on IIN but it is most of the time.

      • Assholes are everywhere. If your question is legitimate or not makes no difference. Sure some people here may be self righteous but I think it reflects what dicks most people are. People as a whole are selfish and self righteous. Sad fact but something we must live with.

      • Bully's exist everywhere and usually these people are suffering from low self esteem.
