RE: "Don't Offend or Hurt Anyone's Feelings": Is This Even Possible or Valid?
We're definitely floundering around in the twilight zone when we are looking to legislation to protect us from hurt feelings. Whatever happened to 'sticks and stones can break my bones but names can never hurt me'?
This cannot end well......a slippery slope leading to at best reeducation camps for those daring to call a spade a spade.
Names can hurt, but at the psychological level. Abusive speech and words can cause trauma. Physical hurt is another thing that can also cause psychological trauma. Name calling isn't a nice thing to do, which is what that childhood motto is more about. I'm more talking about truthful information hurting and offending people that "can't handle the truth" ;) Thanks for the feedback.
