If you want to play in here you will need to toughen up

You're the one asking silly questions

I must quote the wiser man ever lived! out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth

speaks.

Seems like good advice. You can't pay attention to every shit head in here, it's what they crave.[/quote

Thanks for your input.

And take a more flattering picture, like me

Is OP a tranny? Yikes!

Bumble. do you think I care?

I used to buy flowers once a week for my wife and say....just because.

Despite the negative tone of this thread, its title reminded me of that.
Thanks for the memories OP.

OP - NO one else can offend you.

YOU offend yourself by choosing to take offense at what others say / do.

When someone calls me a "mother f**ker", I do not take offense. I smile, and tell them: "well, keep your mother off the streets, and I will leave her alone."

If you choose to take offense, and be hurt, by what others say, or do, that is YOUR doing. Quit whining, grow up, and learn to focus on what really matters. Perceived insults to your ego are NOT what really matters. They are a meaningless distraction you choose to be distracted by. They are-thus-YOUR FAULT.[/quote Yes if one assumes responsibility for ones own emotions then others are not able to manipulate with words meant to elicit a reaction whereas the person who knows this simply accepts what the other person says and goes on as opinions vary.Most people though believe others are in charge of how they feel as many say it like this You make me so mad, angry, frustrated. bored, tired,.......when none of these are true unless agreed upon by the recipient. Owning ones emotions allows greater freedom and acceptance of others regardless of content and more emotional distress when not accepted as true from others

If you watch every word you say because some people are extremely easily offended by just about everything just about all the time, then you won't get much said! And I'll bet someone was offended by that opinion.

Well now, isn't that just too bad.

Just because we are in the web-internet does that fact give us a license
to offend others?
We don't like the way they look, what they believe, what they say, they are..
not sufficient educated to satisfy our fears! as we see a reflection of ourselves
in them. The same way we look in to a mirror often, because we forget what we look like,
so are we to examine our motives when so loosely let the poison be spread from our tongue

in this case from our fingers.

I'm not asking any silly questions. I am making a statement of what goes on in the Internet'

I would definitely not f**k Jagged little pill while sober... but if I drank a 12-pack and put a paper bag over her head I would take a stab at her then.
