Why do people call each other names?

Well being the center of attention for all the world's major religions, and many minor ones, tends to create a certain "mystique" about ones self.
Also, it should be noted that power is sexy.

And this dualistic bigotry is the reason man can't be trusted to control it's self. Geeze, I mean the last time I gave a man free will he went and invaded another sovereign nation. I have to admit the whole god thing was cute at first, but now I just think he's a dink.

In conclusion, handcuffs are better substitutes for whips.

All this wantonness and depravity, I think it is too late for an alert.

I am not sure why this thread went off-topic in the first place.

At another forum, I see people calling each other names and degrading each other because their opinion clashes with another's. But generally, why do you think some people call each other names and say bad stuff in general just because someone said something that clashes with their ideas. Why don't they accept it as only an opinion and leave it at that?

Occasionally, having an "opinion" is, indeed, reflective of a personality flaw.

But doesn't having an opinion contribute to the diversity of ideas in that topic? As a result, for the fear of being dissed, I don't like to voice my opinions about any subject matter because I know that people will eventually find some flaw in them. And that's great because I am willing to listen to other people, about more of what they have to say. But, when their opinions are extremely biased, and I try to inform them of that, they get all rude and all up in my face.
