Re. my previous posts: I'll take that as a 'no' then. It seems I was right. My previous posts have been completely ignored because, I'm guessing, they were an attempt to bring some understanding and something positive to this thread.

Some of you don't seem interested in that. You'd rather throw insults and engage in verbal scraps. Has that ever brought you anything positive, other than a sense of enraged righteousness and a conviction that the other person is an irredeemable idiot?

And do we wonder why politicians don't engage, and why there is so much intransigent conflict in the world?
