Just word games for fun. But if I were in Iraq right now, I wouldn't be shooting a stone wall, unless I missed. And if I was a Palestinian or Israeli, I wouldn't be aiming at walls either. But you have to be able to discriminate between the real and unreal to know the difference between murder, killing and word games.

There is a strong likelihood that other people will PERHAPS take our words to heart. That possibility alone should make us both aware of the harm we can bring to our readers or hearers and make us want to refrain from sayinng anything or writing anything that we know might hurt them. Choose your words wisely. Love yourself and others wisely. Have compassion for the world. But when I'm talking to you, Larry, I know I don't have to be as picky with my words. I know that you know that words in themselves have no power and so I can say whatever I want about you and I know nothing I write will harm you because you won't take anything I write to heart. You have no heart. See? did saying that hurt you? You're a heartless bastard. Lol. Just kidding. " Silver " " Silver " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intent to hurt is destructive to the one who hurts intentionally. The hurt is destructive to the one who resists it. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they not NOT GUILTY? Forgive them for they are unaware, Father. Forgive them for they do things that are harmful to themselves and to others because they are sleeping. They are asleep and do not know it. *sheepishly stepping off the pulpit now before I get pelted by tomatoes.* LOL I'll go back to sleep.
