The problem with comparing is that if the situation you compare to is worse off, then the situation you got will seem fine up against the other situation. Though that wont change the situation you are unhappy with in any and way it will stay the same. You might see it in a different light, but still the same situation you didn't like to begin with.
E.g. I live in Denmark, lets say I'm unhappy with something in society and people tell me that peole are worse off in a lot of other countries that doesn't solve my unhappyness and things wont change if you do like this. It's just sad that they're even worse of and further away from a greater living standard.

On this paragraph, I suggest you :
1) either become moderator or nominate more activate moderators for TMO. I also participate in a sports forum with members from many nationalities. The owner of the forum is strict 'no politics, no race, no religion discussion' rules. Plus no personal attacks/name calling. That didnt stop the trolls, but cos of strict rules, the repeated troublemakers were banned permanently

2) or also go to other forums, tech and non tech. Then one will appreciate TMO more. I find 95% of sites, forums, not just English, will have 'colourful' characters . Unless I only venture in sites talking very lighthearted topics

If some level of intolerance here that I recall would be about the English. Some non English speaking posters did not structure their sentences correctly & were ridiculed by some English speaking posters. I reckon you guys here are used to well written English, with more from Western countries?(as compared to other English language forums I've been to)
