My comment was towards
@BraveOne and his stance that seems to say that it was sad that the guy did not die and also his posts where it looks like he thinks killing someone over a slur is a proper response.
Deliberately killing someone is way different and worse than punching someone.
Ah! Excuse me.
And yes, Deliberately killing someone is different and worse than punching someone.
If the root of anger is misunderstanding, and the goal of teaching a lesson is to ensure it is passed to others, killing someone doesn't ensure the lesson is taught in the sense that it ends with that person.
However the lesson of calling someone an offensive term as such is too widely known to believe the lesson wasn't passed to this individual.
If for instance
@BraveOne was named Richard and you called him Dick after learning of his name and he didn't like to be called Dick, I would believe his stance on the methods to handle the situation would be much different. He would probably be "Please don't call me Dick, I prefer Richard." and you would probably respect his wishes and you two would go on being friends forever, because you learned the lesson he didn't like to be called Dick.
The problem here is that everyone knows saying that word is extremely inappropriate. The "lash" out aspect of it is the repercussion of generation after generation of trying to teach people the same lesson over and over again.
What does it take, what ends are needed to ensure a world in which this situation never happens again.
I don't care what anyone says, words can be, and have been, more powerful than weapons of our own making at times.
It's not my place to say I understand racism, but I've seen the black and white photos, I've heard the stories, I read the pages of journals. I have an idea of the terrible existence that faces people who find themselves living in a time, where their very essence of human dignity is being robbed at the hands of a superiority complex by their very own kin. It is not a fate I would wish on my worst enemy.
PS. Maybe I am out of line I don't know.
I find the degradation of men, even in the first page of this thread, to be offensive. Doesn't mean I'm going to go out and punch feminists.
I saw the post.
I am here to say, that by no means you are to actively engage is such actions.
However, I will say, If you're sitting on a park bench listening to CKY, enjoying a fruitsicle and someone pops off on unwarrented man hating and ruins your peaceful afternoon in the park, and you just happen to sock em in the dome?
I'm just going to continue to eat my vegan coney island dog and not say a peep.
Corrik were pretty close. In confidence he told me he had a tiny penis. I said, "So what?"

. He had a point that you made him feel foolish for making. Be upfront about it and apologize.
