I disagree. Everyone here can only see words- not actions. Obviously if I am making obscene gestures at you right now, that doesn't speak so loud, does it? But if I write these words:\n\nMY THINGY IS SMALL AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!\n\nLoud and clear, huh?

Hi, I am rational Spirituality,\n\nI would love to say "yes", but that would be unrealistic.  The realistic answer is that humanity is not yet ready for that point.\n\nAnd people argue vigorously about religion, because their dogma is not supported with evidence, and I believe, that it is the insecurity in people that drives them to be aggressive about their particular form of belief.\n\nThe notion here is, that "the louder I shout and the more people agree with me, the more likely am I, or my belief, to be true".   Which is a mistake.\n\nThe Truth need not be shouted or argued about vigorously.  Those with intelligence and with Divine guidance within their hearts, recognise the Truth when they are guided to it.\n\nWhen all people find the Truth, then there will be nothing to argue about, and hopefully, there will be more peace.

the best of intentions do not always mask the worst of acts.  even if no hurt was intended, folks say the first thing that occurs to them.  if more thought was put into what we say and if we took into account the emotional effects our words have on others, this wouldn't be the problem it is.  \n\nwe should all choose our words carefully, because (hopefully) someone might be listening.

Actions are always better than words.  I felt that I couldn't express myself enough with those 3 little words.  Before, those words scared me, but now, I found someone that I could say them calmly and confidently, and even more with actions.\n\nLetting her sleep late, even if I worked late or a double shift.  Giving her some her time (w/o screaming kids).  Holding her hand (even in public), squeazing her hand 3 times for love. Soft kisses, a look..........   An extra long hug, not wanting to let go, ever!  \n\nSure material things are nice, but a better way to show it is when it's from the heart.

I'm afraid, Rick, most of us just wait for the other person's mouth to quit moving so we can say what we want.  It's a human failing.  There are very few really good listeners.  It's a real art.

Some people really do mean it, but I believe the majority of people say it just to be polite. At least their mind is in the right place in trying to be considerate to a person. I'd say 50% of our daily speech is occupied saying to others what we think they want to hear, but I'm just guessing on the percentage.

This is the thing about "freedom of speech". We all have the opportunity to speak our mind. BUT in a polite thoughtful publically acceptable manner. Would you like someone screaming obsenities and making obscene gestures if anyone's mother, grandmother, or small child were standing there? Well, I do not like it If I am standing there. Politeness is not taking away anything; it is allowing ALL of us to live together in less and less space...Having control over what you say is being an adult...screaming and yelling or typing stuff that is not really necessary nor particularly indicative of any intelligence is hardly anything to strive for nor anything to complain about if others do not like it and they say so...THAT Is freedom of speech.

You are touching lightly on "militant enthusiasm." It's an interesting idea in communal aggression...read more about by checking out these links on Google.\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?q=militant+enthusiasm&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

No! For me personally, it is more about the language used to express some ideas. I too have served in the military and stand for freedom of speech.It is not necessary to yell,use foul words,throw things,   destroy people or property to get your point across. Yet all too often we do.Ask why? To be a better listener is a start.
