I didn't say you had to be nice. Be nasty, but with a smile.

I subscribe to the Janice Shell school of vicious, cutting insults, stated in the nicest possible way (or in Latin).

Quo usque tandem abutere patentia nostra? Puto vos esse molestissimos, Emile. Vacca foeda! Vescere bracis meis. Fac ut vivas. Stultus est sicut stultus facit.

Vae, braccae illae virides cum subucula rosea et tunica Caledonia-quam elenganter concinnatur, Emile!

Veni, vidi, visa. (I came, I saw, I did a little shopping.)

Hi TLC,
Thank you, there were a lot of Mrs. Cleavers wearing pretty dresses here while millions of Jewish women were being stripped, shaved and put in ovens not to mention the others being killed in a big blood bath. That is the core of emotions behind Emiles attitudes. He wants to play disappear but it won't work. With the strong control over our emotions that are screaming at us that this is not right we can succeed in letting a nightmare happen again. Being hypocrites also makes us blind to truth.
What has become interesting to me is the focus of certain ammendments to the Constitution by Emile and his wolves. Isn't freedom of religon as important as freedom of abusive speech and the right to bear arms? The man that shot at me and my sons was actually convicted for preventing us from our constitutional right to worship God as we desire and for obstruction of property. I thought it was interesting for he was screaming that his right to bear arms was being violated. See you can not bring an AK47 rifle to a House of Worship or a playground and that seems to really offend some people.
There are many people trying to deal with hate on the internet but if the respect for others and basic morality is not there it is difficult to have freedoms at all and more difficult to police it, to me it ends up being a war. What a shame that people are plagued with hate and ignorance over and over and over again.
