"I'm sorry" doesn't always fix things. But apologizing does wonders for problems sometimes.
Even if it doesn't include "I'm sorry." Sometimes all it takes is a...
oh, I see your point.
Heck, if someone take the time to send someone a civil, private message after a big argument or debate, it shows something about that person. However, people like to hold grudges and take the little things for granted.
Why should I say sorry? What good will that do?
Just have a little hope.
Like Timexpo wrote, sometimes we may write things that may offend others. Don't be close-minded and hear out the other person when they go out of their way to talk about a problem. And sometimes do the same. Go out of the way and talk to someone who pisses you off, privately.
Never start a full-scale flame war. Be classy.
I do not consider myself naive.
Not at all. I value everyone to the same degree until they give me a reason not to. Hence why I give the respect that people
deserve. If I don't agree with you, I could curse you out and say foul things about you. But I don't. I listen to you and to what you have to say.
That is respect.

Not trying to be rude but welcome to todays world.
The world we live in is different than it has or ever will be, we live in a world ruled by hate and anger, its the way we are, its in every single persons DNA and there is nothing we can do about it. On top of that it gets worse with every generation that follows. Just watch, in 15 years nice people will cease to exist.
I don't and I will
never agree with you.
That kind of thinking should not drive you. It is wrong.
We tend to focus on the bad, like kitae said. We see it everywhere-- the news, rumors, etc. But the good will never disappear, nor will it ever be overwhelmed by the bad. That I can guarantee you.
It's a balance. And I would like to think that it's more on a good side.
Just like our blacksmiths in Mabinogi when they fail to repair dura points. We focus on those small mistakes too much, but we never think about how often they
do succeed at repairing. (Unless you're Ferghus.)
Today's world needs less people like you.
We need more optimists.
Lastly, there are reasons worth fighting for in our dear world, including people as well. They're all around you. You just have to look harder.

nor should you get too involved in what others' think of you and bring up (pointless) old conflicts. compared to real life, almost anything on the internet is trivial.
Thank you.
The aim of my original post was to remind people who we are and who we shouldn't be. I saw people being disrespected and I didn't like it. My post wasn't about the future of humanity or people complaining about their lives, it was about
disrespect.
People should not be stepped on all over simply because they were trying to help or were trying to start an innocent discussion. Like I said, hold the door for a stranger, show some respect. They haven't given you a reason not to.
Respect goes a long way with everyone,
everywhere. It's something we all need to have for others.
And it starts with one single person.
