Thanks to all of you guys.Your the greatest and im proud to be among such intelligent friends.
I will have to remember all of these responses the next time someone insults not only me but the kilt and the history of it.
The sad thing is-one stupid remark said without thinking-broke up a twenty year friendship.
I questioned his remark many times after,and wondered did he himself somehow connect my wearing a kilt to being homosexual,and was using his buddys as an excuse to say something he was afraid to say directly to me.
He knows that I have a very close friend that lives up in Canada that is Transsexual,and did at one time make a remark to him being gay.
I said nothing at the time an thought,if hes not intelligent enough to know the difference in being Transsexual and Homosexual,than why bother in trying to correct him.
Again thanks so much for some of your ways to handle or to respond to insulting remarks.
What are some of the things that you guys have run into and what else can we expect to hear from people speaking without thinking?
