pls refrain from such speech.
i was asking for your opinions.
and i merely stated what are of mine.
at no point of time did i insinuate that you were accusing them
of being mercenary.
as a general rule of thumb, it is better to go for what
you're comfortable with, instead of forcibly conforming yourself to
another's culture.
oh, really, the tone of message does not sound asking for
opinion
