I will remind you, don't even start with the word "accusation". It is possible to state feelings without making anyone else have to be responsible. It is possible to discuss the topic of cultural exposure without accusing. Accusations are not a part of this thread. Both sides need to stop being so defensive and looking at things from an accusatory position and just attempt to understand what the other is saying. People are not understanding becasue they spend their time trying to figure out how to defend themselves against some perceived "accusation." That is why I called for honesty in this thread. If you cannot be honest regarding your own behaviors and your own motives, then you have no business attempting to contribute to this discussion, because all you will be doing is looking for someone else to blame.
