The fact that it may by culture doesn´t say it´s a good one.

Now there are no ethnical ties between people spending time in front of

screens, comparable to the ones connecting ethnic groups.

I think the tendency of showing more of your aggresiveness relative to

peoples distans from you, bares dangerous resemblances to those mecanics

that starts war. Cultivated, in the words proper sense, people *always* do

their best to hold back their aggressive feelings when communicating with

foreigners. They also know there is a stronger risk for misunderstandings,

not seeing the other persons whole appearance and, if the misunderstanding

persists, waits for a meeting in real life to sort things out. Other

behaviour is just cowardness and has nothing to with culture.
