On rudeness
Those who cannot tell the difference between rudeness and lack of manners will never be rude, and will always lack manners. A rude person is, by definition, an intelligent person, a fast thinker whose words can be as sharp and accurate as a surgical obsidian blade. Good manners, on the other hand, are a matter of education - we learn them rationally, and by reason we can keep them or not. Without reason and education, we are reduced to savages with little more than sticks and stones.
But then again, there's quite a lot of people out there who seems to have come down from the trees, but barely.

Lazarus Long
I suppose I could feed a blog for quite a long time by quoting Robert A. Heinlein only. The fact that so many people dislikes science fiction while they never read any baffles me, but it is truly their loss.
Gone M.I.A.
I remember one of my university teachers explaining how silence is a form of communication. A powerful one, I might add, but so easily misunderstood. People insist on thinking - rather, in believing - that someone's long spells of silence mean that one doesn't care about them anymore. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't; when it comes to me, it usually doesn't, although I've intentionally gone mute with some people. I still like them for the most part, and I wish them the best, but truth be told, I wouldn't have anything to say to them, and I prefer to save the weather topic to the random encounters I cannot avoid. Going missing in action makes perfect sense. If there's no "action" to be had, nothing will be missed anyway.
