Backbone has its good parts and bad parts. I easily offend people, because I say what I think and am pretty harsh. And judgemental. It's the flipside to the shy, insecure girl I was growing up. Soon as I finished school I figured, fuck it, and started being myself. Now I'm an ass to hide the insecurity.Beffudled Sheep said:God I wish you were my mom, friend, or significant other (not to be creepyIndomitableSam said:Snip)... More people these days need a serious injection of the backbone you seem to have an abundance of. Your kids (if you have any) would probably turn out pretty damn good barring extraordinary circumstances.
As for kids, I have seen what they do to each other these days and it's made me decide I don't (probably) want any as I would teach them to fight back... And when they couldn't, I'd go to the kid's door and tell the parents (and the kid) if they didn't stop, I would hunt them down and torture and kill each one of them, starting with the children. Not kidding. I would probably hurt someone if my kid was bullied.
