Well ... we're ALL individuals - each with his/her OWN sets of living standards [and hence values!] as pre-determined by our different circumstances - but that's what makes this forum ... indeed ... ANY "meeting place", really ... where ideas and opinions are shared and debated, so lively and interesting. Human existence would be extremely boring if everyone were to agree with one another all the time.
And I'll bet the mild-mannered man who initiated THIS thread (like I unwittingly did with MY controversial subject a couple of weeks back!) never imagined for one moment that (like me) he'd be stirring up a hornet's nest when HIS topic was first placed in the 'melting pot' for discussion.
But then ... THAT'S LIFE!
