Having the right to be an asshole doesn't make it right to be an asshole

If we said "Hello!" a lot more often than "Fuck You!" it would be a lot easier to find peace in the world.

As long as so many people are stuck in the range from "Get Bent!" to "Eat Shit And Die", peace between nations, cultures, religions, ethnicities, whatever, will never be possible.

However, I strongly believe in the old adage "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." And that is what we need everyone to focus on. So many out there feel like they have a right to not be offended (see Kim Davis).
