"You're hate, intolerance, and a refusal to listen personified.

And to some degree this can be justified."

Make up your mind. You have frequent trouble doing that in this respect.

Do you still watch 1950s style westerns? The good guys wear white hats, the bad guys black, and the goody goody types triumph at the end of every episode? Have you noted that as time has gone by, Hollywood and their audience have evolved into portraying more complex values, characters, conflict and situations?

The world is more complicated if you try to respect the other guys, if you believe that most cultures have valid reasons for coming into existence, and members of said cultures still think those reasons valid.

If you shut your ears rather than listen to and respect other's beliefs, you can live in an imaginary world with simple answers to all sorts of questions. Cynic Hero lives in another such world. Lots of us have such worlds. It is sometimes amusing to listen, try to figure them out, and maybe sometimes try to break the values luck. The hazards of that is bruises on one's forehead as one smacks one's self in frustration.
