so annoying
why do we have to be polite when people are being offensive? i mean, yes, we can call them on it, but we can't tell them off they way i'd like to. so not fair.

it goes with that whole "turn the other cheek" thing, and that was Jesus' idea, so i guess He thinks it's important.
then again, He's the one who said "you brood of vipers", so i guess it depends on what the offense is and how it's presented. for example, if my daughter and her friends were using racial slurs and being jerks, i'd tell them, in no uncertain terms, to knock it off. no "um, excuse me, but would you please not use those words. thank you."
Just because it is their nature to be offensive, doesn't mean it is your nature. You respond politely because you have class.
*like* to both of those statements.
the hard thing, though, hobbitsister is when it's a stranger on facebook. i did call this person on it, but it makes it even harder when it's in writing, because of the whole tone thing.
does it have something to do with a comment someone wrote on your cousin's son's post?
oh...just found it. i thought it was something another of his friends had written. good for you for saying something. even though these kids might not think they're being offensive, they need to have it pointed out to them. what he said was not ok, and i think you handled it well.
thank you. i tried.
