Yes, it is bad. Cultures that discourage “rude” comments invariably have more corruption than cultures that encourage frankness. Take the Netherlands for example. People say they are rude. But really, it’s just that Americans can’t tell the difference between objective honesty and malicious insults.

People who say what they mean and call it like they see it are brave. They don’t cash in tomorrow for a little convenience today.
