If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.
Because we are sometimes discussing heated topics with people who we've went round and round with and deep down we know we're not going to change their opinion, so we get frustrated.
Most of us don't just do it randomly, notice that I've never cursed at you for example. Oh that brings up another point. MOST of my cursing, and I admit I have a foul mouth, or in this case foul fingers LOL, is not directed at anyone in particular.
This isn't to deny that I to sometimes get carried away; just stating that sometimes when you're arguing with a person who calls names and curses at you on a regular basis it's easy to respond with an "oh yeah motherfucker."
Again, I'm not making excuses.

Quite frankly, and I know you'll all be shocked by this, but I myself sometimes even engage in name calling. I know, I know, but it's true! And while it shouldn't be all the time, it is fun sometimes.
BUT, BUT, BUT...
You'll never see me use the P word, the C word or other immensely degrading terms in front of the ladies. I never use the C word as it is. Admittedly, I've used the P word when with the "guys", but I think it's poor form to do so in front of the ladies.
So I become more "creative" and find things to call my "enemies" that won't insult "all" women.
“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

Sassy you are just so much more enlightened and grown up than everybody else, you are my hero.
Personally I don't give a damn who I offend on the web.
Don't like it, don't read it.
