When Would Nairalanders Begin To Make Comments Void Of Offensive Words? by TONYE001(m): 6:02pm On Sep 02, 2013
I was just wondering when fellow Nairalanders would learn to comment POLITELY.

I believe there are multiple ways to make known your views without hitting hard on people's feet ("toes" is an understatement).

Is it that the program, violence, is written on our DNA strands?

What do you think Nairalanders?

This may be an old post but I think it would be a good idea if it's taken to the Front Page for deliberation. There is no need to make known the obvious fact that this thread may help in the campaign against incivility here on Nairaland and beyond.

Lalasticlala, do you agree?

It's a cultural thing I think.

I think it is one of those cultures we must unlearn. If we trace incidences of violence world-wide, we may find out that most cases of violence actually began from the use of strong words...against parties of a given communication.

True. It's actually a form of violence.
