As user, I can confirm this. I was living a few years in another country as |
| 20 |
mine, and cultural differences are a reality of our world. It can be 100% normal |
| 21 |
to say something in one country when in a neighbour country, the same sentence |
| 22 |
will be taken as an affront. |

So, be cool. And maybe more important, respect each other. Respect is the only |
| 25 |
cure against all kind of racism. We are not living i a perfect world and so are |
| 26 |
we: unperfect. As said a Canadian poet: "Human beings have a problem: they don't |
| 27 |
like each other, but they don't like solitude either." |

So, if you feel at someone is showing some kind of disrespect, just ignore him |
| 30 |
or her. |

Otherwise, Georges idea to redirect the flame wars to another list sound very |
| 33 |
good. |
