right, because, when someone has a view that's different from yours, no matter how ignorant it seems to you, it gives you the right to insult them so foully or to attack using private barbs that were intentionally designed to hurt someone. wow, that's the art of mature and gentle persuasion ! frankly, i'm a little tired of the way some ppl have assumed that since someone doesn't have the same view as you, they are 'stupid' or 'idiots' or 'morons' or 'cunts' or 'fags' or 'pussies.' that's pretty fucking arrogant, and it's pretty damned hypocritical. lesson learned from your basic critical writing english 101b class: your argument is much more convincing when it's argued persuasively and not defensively, and people are a lot more willing to listen, too. and btw, using the word 'cunt' makes someone look just as crass as the person they intended to insult. ___________________________________________________________________ The D mailing list http://www.djdenise.com/ Check out the new forum! http://www.djdenise.com/forum/
