If I owned a Porsche or something and parked it way out there, and then later after I came out the store I saw a beater parked next to me, I would (or should) think it's funny. If for some reason I got offended, maybe it's a sign that I should lighten up.
If nobody were allowed to "commit malice" or whatever you want to call it, then nobody would learn any life lessons. For example, when other kids made fun of you in school, it taught you to either A) grow a pair and retaliate, or B) grow a pair and stop taking shit personally. Either choice requires growing a pair and getting some self-esteem.
When people feel offended, 90% of the time it's their own doing and their own choice. |
No, no, no little one the outcome is irrelevant because it is your intent to do harm that defines the term. If I take a gun, point it at you and fire, I am committing a malicious act whether or not I actually hit you. Your stated purpose was to cause these "skinny, white boys" emotional duress, it doesn't matter whether they laugh, cry or kick your ass. YOUR intent remains the same.
BTW as far as "learning life lessons" go, I'm not sure why you and your ilk have taken it upon yourselves to go out of your way to teach the rest of us character lessons but you can go ahead and take me out of your class roster.
