Shameful

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. ~ Proverbs 16:32

[It is better to be patient than powerful. It is better to win control over yoursefl than over whole cities.]

When our hatred is violent, it sinks us even beneath those we hate. ~ Rochfoucauld

These two caught my attention.. in light of what's happening, not only on the streets in Lebanon, but also in the Blog community...

Really shameful... aren't we supposed to have "civilized" posts/comments, without calling names and fighting each other.. or is it that the riots have moved here?

I agree. Those who resort to name-calling often have nothing meaningful to contribute. It's like what Mark Twain once said, "When your only tool is a hammer, all your problems start to look like nails."
