Off-Topic / Is 'Russkie' offensive in English? [23]

The emotional mind can often have a mind of its own or emotional intelligence which operates independently of the logical mind, and name-calling is a product of this emotional mind, an explosion of feeling in the form of barbed words. It is a tool a person uses to inflict pain. I am not offended by name calling but I wasn't always this way. I educated myself as to why I did get offended, and then I knew how to handle it. I gained back control of my feelings / emotions. I now pity anyone who intentionally inflicts or attempts to inflict injury to anyone, in any manner. I now know I am not any of the names anyone could call me. I am more, now, than they will ever be. :D

I commend Prysznic and agree with squidoutofguam. I never knew how many names, or labels, there are. My goodness how very sad. How very shocking. Mean people need love and understanding too, but I think this would come right after a good spanking! Seriously the old saying, "You get what you give." should be enough. ...sigh... if only it were.
