| Jan 20, 2015 at 13:44 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | It really depends on what kind of differences you're talking about (cultural, economic, religious, philosophical, etc.). If you don't have any specific type of difference in mind the only truly "generic" adjectives would effectively be tautological (the differences are too different), but you could perhaps blur that point by focusing on magnitude/insurmountability rather than divisiveness (the differences are too great/extreme/deep-seated). | |
