Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2408030, member: 1764"] Considering we're a nation that prides itself on sarcastic wit, deprecating humour and sledging, which has been brought up on the trite old saying "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me", I think it's hypocritical to get upset about it and say "oh well, you deserved a smack in the mouth for that". Maybe we should abolish verbal (and written) abuse, make it socially unacceptable. But frankly I think that's behind the list of making excessive alcohol consumption socially unacceptable the same way smoking is seen as poor form these days. Also to make being fat, lazy, eating #### food and otherwise living an unhealthy lifestyle should be made socially unacceptable. I reckon once you stop people thinking it's cool to be drunk and cool to be obese, then you might be able to tackle the people who think it's cool to be an arsehole. [/QUOTE]
