I really don't understand it.I don't think it's the same thing as politeness (unless you mean generally) but I don't think people these days count it as a virtue (I know I know, we are more like Americans now) but the cliquishness is very much alive still (class and rich/poor divides as bad as ever, too) which prevents people from saying bad things to their faces (behind their backs is another story) and is one of the reasons I've almost completely fallen out of love with this country.QuoteI suppose it comes down to not wanting to hurt people's feelings. But if somebody is seeking a genuine, honest opinion then I think it's more disrespectful to lie for the sake of their feelings than it is to give your honest opinion.So I look forward to your opinions of my album - if I ever finish it!Generally, I'd like to always speak honestly to people. The reactions and b*tchiness I get from some though in retaliation makes me think twice now about everything I say. Hence, why I didn't want to say too much to bloodline in case he was just showing off his masterpiece to 'his clique'. ;-)I see now that isn't the case.* Edit: Nevermind.
