phsycologically speaking..its the most damaging habbit ever... that starts in grade school...because every name that has ever been called gets stored in that person's memory bank....or your's for that matter and eventually when the scales of balance tip in the wrong direction thats "what" the person will start to believe. the power of suggestion is a powerful tool not to be miss-used....( NEBE )
on the other hand.........
if every time you see someone you say to them ....you're a "gentleman and a scholar ", for example... eventually that's what they will become....

you have to think of everyone as a piece of clay ...(especially kids) and that you'll have a positive
influence in their shape....or a disasterous one. it's entirely your choice.

sure some people are more thinned skinned than others...but the damage is real...
except when used between the best of friends to encourage laughter and humor...it quickly defines your moral values and who (what) you are...

I concurr - fully....


Please remember, we have generally kept the battles low key. You want to argue something out and disagree - fine. But keep it from becoming a bash session and personal attacks...

Thanks

Ah, the anonimity of the Internet! Wonder how much of this you would see if people had to do it face to face?
