Why does it seem people online will openly degrade anyone but out in public everone runs from confrontation? Why is there such social paranoia in public and too scared to socialize with strangers but will happily insult everyone online? If people are so lonely, why don't they talk with people whil le they are out and exchange contact info? It seems more enjoyable talking with immigrants and better to avoid Canadians. I'm not bothered by dealing with someone talking stupid or if someone wants a friendly hug, it's quite easy to have a good time with strangers and I have no concrns about giving my number to continue talking.

I am fully with you on your general premise, I'm in agreement with you. It's people completely lose their minds and lose all self control as soon as someone says "I don't believe in vaccines", without thinkingabout the people around them everyday in public who never got it and they will never know.

That's what I mean about responding to rage and anger, and not having the humility to care for others without getting wrapped up in having contrary views and being of service and gentle care to others.

I don't ask for agreement or complience in order to be close friends with anyone.
