Nowadays, I've noticed that MyEC members fight too much on the issues like gender and religion. It seems like everyone is too stubborn to understand other person's views. Irony is that people keep fighting and keep trying to convince others despite knowing the fact that they would never succeed in doing so. Everybody wants to speak, but nobody wants to listen, or more correctly, people only listen to get more reasons to continues their useless debate.

Sometimes I read people's comments and replies to each other and think why don't they just get tired of doing the same thing over and over again? Most of the members would say that this is their way of improving their writing skill. Although I do agree with this to a certain extent, I think people cross their limits more often than not and aren't afraid of hurting their fellow members' feelings. I believe that even the freedom of expression and freedom of speech should have certain limits. The moment someone reaches the point from where they start hurting other human beings' feelings, they should be stopped. This is the very reason all the civilized societies have ethics, laws and values. It looks like, however; that MyEC, which is a virtual society in my personal opinion, doesn't have any, unfortunately. We, the members, come from different countries, have different ethnic backgrounds, have different religious beliefs/or don't have a religious belief at all, etc. If we refrain from indulging in activities that turn friends into foes, MyEC would be a much better place to learn English and make friends.

P.S. Don't even try to start a new debate here. :D
