DG...with people like you around, we all tend to become more than a little calloused about words that used to be a lot more shock worthy.
Call me whatever floats your boat. If I don't give you, or the words you use, the power to matter to me in any way, shape, or form........then you are nothing more than pixels on a screen. Kinda like the adults in Charlie Brown. "wha wha wha wha wha whaaa".
Obviously you do allow others, and the words they use, the power to affect you. It is foolish to assume everyone is the same.Â
I do, However, I imagine the people out here are too dense to understand the meaning of words or think words possess an entirely different meaning than their actual definition.
People should be affected by words. it is our language whether written or spoken. It is stupid and short sighted to suggest otherwise. The people that are chiming in as if they have no impact are being thick. I have seen far too many of you affected by the words from complete strangers to indulge you any further in this charade.
People are routinely affected by they words they read and hear. It's really stupid to suggest otherwise.
So are you saying we are to take your words at face value and really believe you are an irredeemable fucktard......or in the light of humour as I have always done?
You see, however you INTEND your words to come across...........I and only I, have always controlled how they affect me. You may intend them to be completely derogatory and nasty but I have always read them as the rantings of a failed stand up comic. Usually humorous, even if often over the line of what I would put up with in my daily life.
Earlier this week a homeless person under the influence of something, walked/staggered off the sidewalk into the street in front of me. I nearly hit him. He let forth a stream of profanity cursing me, my lineage, and a few other interesting things. I can promise I did not take those words to heart. The only effect they had was in showing his own issues. I suppose I could have ALLOWED him to make me feel bad but..........why?
I cannot control the intent......or how anyone using any particular word feels about that word. I can control how it affects me.
Am I to believe I AM a goddess extraordinaire and jump up and down screaming "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" just because some dweeb writes me that I am on the other side? I think not. No more than I am going to be bothered that some dweeb on this side calls me a cunt.
I know myself better than either of the above dweebs......so their words are just 'Wha wha wha wha whaaaaaaaaa"

Just because you are well educated, articulate, and can use big, fancy words, properly........does not mean you are right!
