Words can hurt, but only if you let them. If a child is taught that sticks and stones will break your bones, but words can't hurt you, its true. No matter what comes outta some idiot's mouth, until he hits you, it doesn't matter. Once you let words influence your life in a bad way, its off to the looney bin and happy drugs. Life is rough, if it were easy, we'd all be killing each other over who's happier. If there wasn't sad and depressing people, you couldn't gauge who is a shiney happy person.


So your advocating that people should be mean because people are mean already so if you do it its ok becuase you are teachign others how to deal with it when it happens to them again?


Not advocating being mean, just saying, words on the screen are just that, words on the screen. They are words, making up sentences. If you don't agree or like what they say, don't let it get to you. Because once you do, everyone else is dictating how you're going to live your life.

Ok, advocating being mean to people. Here's an example that happened the other day.

A guy posted something like "What's the ratio to old bearded guys to fat women?" And then proceeded to insult damn near everyone he could. So you have to be nice and say "well, the ratio is x to x, why do you ask?"


And that is totally wrong, but by arguing with him you are giving him exactly what he wants. Why do you think he posted it. Its probably becuase he wanted to piss people off and he feels like he is controlling people and making them do what he wants.

And to go with a classic, do two wrongs ever make a right?

nope just ignore them feeding into them gains nothing all it does is puts fuel to the fire he has already started.

As they say HATE BREWS HATE!!!

KILL THEM WITH KINDNESS!!

Have you ever noticed that when someone is being rude and your still nice to them there fire tends to smolder and go out?bigsmile If not then you have never tried it it does work.bigsmile

all i know is at times one must stick up for themselves when they are being told off, but however one should have respect and know not everyone can fend for themseles and dat others are really emotional,some people just have too much pride to tel off others and make themselves feel good but in tha end they havent acomplished anything but hurt someone in tha process, and then they realize wat they did was wrong instead of right

Once again, this is a public forum. People have the right to respond any way they choose. Those that don't wish to have people post negative responses also have the right not to post at all. This works both ways.

If there were no negative people in the world, just think about how happy and joyous the whole world would be. Damnit, I will NOT let that happen, negativity makes the world go round. Without someone saying something off key or uncalled for, all you'd have is a buncha idiots agreeing with themselves and I so can't deal with that.drinker drinker drinker

There is nothing wrong with arguing with people, I do it all the time its when people make personal atttacks on others that has nothing to do with the argument.

I thank you for characterizing me as something I am not. I actaully believe that kids should be taught about winning and losing and everything else that just helps kids grow up.

No matter what people say words can hurt, and anyone who grew up getting teased thier whole life can tell you that.


Well again, you simply must have been the one being "teased" thier whole life.

I'm only being "direct" because I don't believe in "mincing" words.

You were "teased" because of your personality traits. You are seen by most as the "whimpy whiney" type and an easy mark. You are considered a "weak" one in the herd. And it is correct, that most that teased you were "bullies" and have great "insecirities" of thier own.

And here you cry out about "what if someone was on thier last rope" etc, etc. Again, just being REALISTIC..you can't save the WORLD!

If someone was "reaching out", then why would they not just go get counseling or some form of help in person, than to go to a bunch of stranger on an internet sight????

God gave us ALL brains...try USING THEM! Again, not flame or anger..just FACT, face it, deal with it, makes life a lot easier to get through. flowerforyou

If you were mean to me I kicked your ass. Sometimes if you were mean to my friends I kicked your ass.

Other times we just ignored you because we had better things to do.
