You cannot be certain you will help or hurt another when you speak,so jump in and take your chances. Words can wound or can heal, but either way it's not as bad as shooting someone.

Perhaps an enlightened president could bring peace with words, but to bring death and destruction, he'd have to initiate war, death and destruction, and have the military fire many shots. I suppose his words could initiate shooting. For that situation, destuctive words and shooting would go together. But, good try.

Why didn't I think of that? Now if only you were the President of the United States. Your words could bring peace to the world. Or it could bring more death and destruction: and you'd never have to fire a shot. " Silver " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, good try. > > Larry Epston ********* That's the response I was waiting to hear from you, Larry. That's what I wanted to ellicit from you because I knew you were just being your old stubborn self saying that words aren't as bad as shooting. If a word leads to more death and destruction, then the word itself is just as bad. Right? So who's foolishness is one's wisdom now? Hmm? Or vice versa?
