The American/Lebbonese, Helen!

Is this the last post to this thread?  

I think it is very important that we practice 3 rules.

1.  We respect everyone because we are respectful people.

2.  We act with dignity and protect the dignity of others.

3.  We act with integrity.

When we violate these rules, we risk offending someone and ruining a thread.  People of quality who have something worth saying, tend to pull away from from what is rude and crude and socially unacceptable, and the thread is then hurt by loosing them.  Others, will return the insult and then the thread is taken totally off topic and that ruins the thread too.  

When we follow the rules we are being honorable, and think how the world would be if we all honored one another.   Might this lead to everyone feeling good about themselves and others?

We might regain feelings of trust and honor.  

Might we know that Lebanon has been Christian, and Muslims do know of Jesus.  The more educated we become, the more likely it is we will maintain a high standard of good manners and diplomacy.   Hopefully, people from around the world will feel welcomed here, and we will have an opportunity to learn from all of them.   Let us avoid throwing stones, and offending others.
