sigh. I was pissed off at a certain person and said some things
which I didn't think were very offensive but which seemed to
offend this person a lot; he's an international student from
Pakistan.

How important is it to other cultures to be "polite" (whatever that is)?
I'm so used to being tolerant to insults/curses/etc... is this just
an American thing?
