I'm so glad I got to live most of my life before people lost their ***** minds.

Didn't everybody's mother tell them--"sticks and stones..."

I don't think Hitler ever personally shot a Jew or pushed one into a gas chamber, so I am sure you have no problems with any of the speeches he made, right?

Words are the single biggest tool used to spread hatred.  To claim that they have no effect is the dumbest argument I have ever heard.

You lived most of your life during a period where straight white men did not have to worry about spreading hatred with their words.  I am glad you enjoyed it.  I am also pleased to see how much it pisses you off that that era has come to an end.
