I'm just trying to have a debate so as to reinforce my understanding of the topic. You can call it being confrontational but it's hardly the...
That's a good post. I'll admit that I was trying to define too abstract and broad a concept. I agree that there is such a thing as a "selfless...
You're needlessly hostile to me for no good reason other than perhaps the standpoint I'm debating from threatens your beliefs so you attack me...
