I feel his pain. As long as it's name calling though, who cares? People that take that kind of stuff too seriously need to get over it.

No, but there is a liquor store just off the base. The trouble is sneaking it back in.

I hope we never degenerate so much that we become immune to people who denigrate and dehumanize us.

Just accept slurs and offensive names?

No thanks.

Just don't care. If it ain't your mother/wife/child calling you names, they don't matter. Fuck em.

Of course it matters.

Unless you're anti-social, we LIVE in the world. It can't be ignored.

It only matters if you let it.

Going through life on the constant lookout for an excuse to take a comment as offensive, and believing that somehow you are denigrated and "dehumanized' (!) only shows a chronic sense of insecurity or a deep-seated sense of guilt.

Or both.

In other words, get over it.
