For any type of learning to happen, it requires some level of interest and intent to be taught on the part of the student.

There are some things, that if you fail to understand by the age of 10 or 12, you just may never get.

I would say then your parents did not teach you very well if you think this is about manners. For one this is a place to discuss things. Secondly, there is nothing in manners that requires everyone to agree with a person or not have an opinion. If we were talking about politics, people would have an opinion about the people involved and the positions they take. This has absolutely to do with manners; you really need to stop acting like it does.
