It was at internext in fact. It's an event that plays out in my head all the time. "Why didn't I say anything? WHY??"

The power a few words had over another person was disgusting. They're just words, but the damage they did....

Why didn't I say anything then? The guilt I feel is starting to wear me down. My work load, and this event are getting to me.
So what, I have had Islander's call me racial names too, and they even jumped me afterwards. Sure the punches might hurt, but the words sure as don't. They are fucking words, and if people can not deal with them for the sake of freedom than they need to grow up.
