Depends IMO

Words are like bullets. Intent matters.

We can pose and front all we want, but at core we are all EMOTIONAL creatures, and what people say and how they say it can both cut and heal.


The highest manifestation of our humanity is the spoken word; language.

Words are it man.

What a strange question? Of course they can be offensive offensive. We know full well the words that offend African Americans,Jews and plenty of other groups and inviduals . If a middle aged woman is hugely obese for medical reasons to call her a hideous fat slag would offend. I could easily .concoct a sentence c which would be deeply offensive to the OP and she has, in the past, been deeply offensive with words.

Pornosophical philotheology?

Actually, a bullet will hurt regardless of the intent behind it lol. Though I do get your point.

[Quiet Reflections]

no they aren't, but sometimes people are and they can and often do use words as weapons.
