Here's my take on the statement that led to the block:
Rather than say what the world would be better off *without*, wouldn't it be more civil to just say what the world would be better off *with*?
We can express ourselves and give our views from every imaginable angle. But when we try to adjust someone else's perspective, their view, their world, (belief in religion for example), we are no longer so much expressing our views but suppressing their's.
Nothing's clear in this forest, we can never quite see for all the trees. Let's go easy, share what we know, and help each other along.
