Human nature dictates that violence and name calling will escalate if the perpetrator of the violence ,name calling, isnt brought down a peg or two by any means . |

I think biting back just re-enforces their misconceptions whereas walking away is usually better, but that's just me, not anyone else.... I prob didn't phrase it well enough.. . bit tired, kids been sick all night.
I thought Sas was a woman:eek: I agree BTW....I usually turn the other cheek, however there are occasions when some are so stupid that talking shite back is all they understand:rolleyes: Usually, I walk away, shake head and laugh in wonderment:D |

I've never checked, just assumed. :o Sorry Sass! I find the best way if you're going to answer back is to shoot one of those lines which they work out 5 minutes after you've gone.... Trouble is actually thinking of them, which usually means delivering a bad one and then coming up with a great one half an hour later. :D |

And believe me, I'm not easily pleased - I'm widely travelled etc. However, with two young girls - I don't think anywhere could ever be dull :D |

Anyone who comes here and loves it, good for them and equally good for the people who come and don't love it - they tried something new and can tick that one off their 'regrets list'. |

Just like the word nigger was no doubt acceptable years and years ago ,you would be hard pressed to find some scrawny arse white boy calling a black guy ''nigger ''these days and the black guy replying ''yes masser ''.You call me a fu--ing pom to my face and your going to get some reply ,that is my choice . |
