*Although I shouldn't have to, I'll explain this now. I'm expressing an opinion, therefor the inferred question is for you to state your opinion to the contrary or in agreement. So please don't ask me what the question is.*
I'm frankly sick of hearing that. I'm tired of persons who don't understand the underlying principles of those their criticising, coming in and telling them how uncivilised they are. Many such persons have no problem condemning insensitive depictions of less advanced cultures as savage, yet have no problem going in and bemoaning my country, America, for example, as "uncivilised." They reason their positions so much from statistical data and not from understanding the importance of some issues to us, and others, that their views look aggravatingly condescending, sometimes asinine. A prime example, despite the claims, Americans aren't "uncivilised" for being about half pro gun. If you believe such, you are woefully ignorant and disrespectful of our culture.
