uk u.s is more civilized than most countries i,ll give us that but what we gain in some ways they beat us in others.
...a lot of people get luxuries at Tesco as well though..things they would 'survive' without, but I think I understand what you mean now..more a quality of life/values..?...

The issue I would say is socialisation, if done well you have decent free thinking, empathic, spirited individuals with the tools to go on to inspire, motivate and educate the next generation.
That is hard enough to achieve, but in a lot of ways hindered by the rules of religion and the freedom of the internet.

I wouldn't say the free schools are helping... Why would anyone want their child taught in a school where the staff are not qualified teachers?
As an important tool in socialisation I would expect that those with the responsibility of moulding minds was competent.

I disagree about cynicism, I would say a certain degree is healthy, to probe, question and examine is good and shows an enquiring mind.
Too many now are spoon fed information without stopping to ponder whether or not they agree... This is the silent majority.
The saddest thing I saw was an article online from the BBC ' Do conspiracy theories undermine democracy?'....
Which in a nutshell said it was undemocratic to question authority, how orwellian is that?
We must maintain cynicism! it is what separates us from drones.
what's next to be called into question honesty?.... oh, we already have when so called 'whistleblowers' are pilloried for informing on bad practice, illegal activity and fraud.

what is considered civilized though? I would think that most people have different answers to what a civilized society is and would be.

I don't know any utterly perverted, one eyed, brainless, uber destructive, hate fuelled radical feminists.
I know a quite a few people whose views are a bit cock-eyed.

Something tells me some sort of skewered personal experience must have come in to play to spurn the truth in to including feminists in a post about various bugbears that are holding humans back that much. It's been a bizarre, recurring theme in a few of his posts now ...

Well at least if we learn to stop cutting people's heads off in the name of worshipping invisible people living in clouds then that might be a step forward ....!!!

Stop dragging it back to extremism, a few indoctrinated individuals do not account for the whole of so called civilised society.
That was a political issue, the fact that that act was seen as so utterly abhorrent is a sign of civility?

Sorry , you can try and label this as the actions of a few but in a truly enlightened and evolved society NOBODY would undertake actions of this depravity for any reason.

Until the last individual moves on none of us can truly move on.

You will never have cross cultural civility as the entrenched socialisation is totally different.
Besically there is no level playing field.
That's not even taking the religious element into account.
