I thought that was all people did on the Internet.

How many Internet debates have you particpated in? But I am in
general agreement with here.

Lesbians do it, so do enviromentalists, so do vegans, so do conservatives,
so do liberals, so do Catholics, Muslims, and most people of most nations,
men, and women.
It is called party purity. Every group has it ayotallahs who espouse the
party line. Most lesbians look down on females who are bi. Most
enviromentalists look down on anyone whoever sides with big business,
vegans condmen those who are not 100"% pure vegan, conservatives
condemn anyone who supports choice, liberals condemn anyone
who supports the war in Iraq, Catholics burn and torture Protestants
because they are not true Christians, Sunnis burn and torture Shiites
because they are not real Muslims, men get insulted if you accuse
them of not being real men, and women get insulted if you accuse
them of not being real women.
People are enamored with labels, and need to feel part of some
exclusive community. Its the "us against them" mentality. This
is especially true of groups that have been persecuted. Blacks
are always accusing other blacks of not really being black.
Many blacks try to convince other blacks, that they are real
blacks.
Humans tend to be very judgmental and intolerant. I thought
I would find acceptance with people who experienced
persecution because of their beliefs or some aspect about
them over which they have no control, but found each group
to be just as judgmental and intolerant as every other group.
That is why I am creating a group and a community for
nonjudgmental, tolerant people who care about others.
The name of this intentional community is called "Empathy."
You can find it at www.ic.org.

That is the way of the world.

Hardly. But when you find one community about acceptance,
non-judgmentalness and acceptance let me know. You will
save me a lot of time, money and effort. I wouldn't be trying
so hard to create on such community, if it existed anywhere
on Earth.

That is exactly what I think, but I guess people care about
fitting and conforming. Humans are not islands. We live in
a society. It is very hard to live in a society when no one
approves of what you do. There is a great feeling of
alienation an lonliness when you realize you are alone,
and not part of any larger community.
It seems to me as if every community is controlled
by their most extreme, dedicated members.
Warm regards,
