Ironic that you're telling me to grow up when it is you who is acting like a child.JustaGigolo said:Oh golly jeepers, those vocal vibrations hurt me so.Squilookle said:I'll tell you what happened to sticks and stones; it went the way of the Dodo, because most civilised societies realised that words CAN be extremely harmful. If you saw someone scream obscenities at a two year old, would you call that child weak if they burst into tears?JustaGigolo said:What ever happened to "Sticks and stones?"
If someone gets offended by a word, good, they deserve to get offended for being so weak that something like a word can hurt them.
I take it you've never had a relationship break up either? Or an estranged family member? friend-turned enemy? Disciplinary parent? Crush that turned you down? Come to think of it, I'd hate to live in such a sterile environment as that.
Grow up, and you'll learn words only hurt you as much as you let them.
I ask you again: If you saw someone scream obscenities at a two year old, would you call that child weak if they burst into tears?
