Giving someone an excuse to use hateful words by saying the hurt is caused not by the speaker of emotional stabbings - but rather by the sensitivity of the intended target REALLY shows how manipulating some people can be ................ It's insane to think that what you say doesn't affect those you say it to. To hide behind the "it's your fault" mentality is insulting. Take responsibility for your trash, stand by it, or clean it up. If it is something you feel you have to go to extremes to support, then it's probably not the words you shoulda used. Butch up and take the consequences.

WORDS - It's how we as humans communicate and the mere fact that we are emotional beings.......... sets the stage.

There are those who like to view themselves as too "logical" or "too intellegent" to let others hurt them. That is such a front........... all humans bleed red blood...... every human has the potential to hurt another. If you do it to make yourself feel better then you deserve to be called into check. Some are too sensitive - agreed

Altho I must say I don't know of any parent that wouldn't come to the aid of thier child.................... you can't expect anything different from a parent. It's the risk you run when you choose to verbally attack instead of thinking of others rather than yourself all the time just to prove a "logical" point.

My only conclusion is that those who think parents are out of line for standing by thier offspring....... must not be parents yet........... so don't worry the "feeling" will come to ya in time.
