some people aren't just as strong as you rusty 😉
I am going to leave you with the last say in your thread. We can agree to disagree on some points. I stand by what I said on Page 4.
I realize as you do some debate, and banter back and forth is needed in the forum to make it lively. We all like to think our position is the correct one. We certainly can not all be right all of the time.
The GF would become a pretty dull spot if everyone agreed on everything, that I know for a fact. I personally enjoyed the GF when it had more posters, with different views on things in general.

Settle down, your hostility towards me is beginning to become crystal clear.

That's because the "touchy, feely" bunch have persuaded people to stay offended. Just more liberal claptrap! There is no way words hurt more than physical pain. Give me one single example of a word so painful?
i'd prefer to get kicked on the crouch than here those words.
Originally posted by scacchipazzoWhat about what parents say or don't say to their children. Or say to eachother infrount of their children. It's foolish to say words don't hurt. If you love someone then what they say matters. If not, then that's something different.

If you love someone, or like someone as a friend, then the words can hurt.
Other than that they are just words!
