Putting the blame where it belongs is helpful. And ranting in a safe place is helpful when you're figuring out who and why to blame. Don't try this at home, kids.

so you are saying calling someone a 'Pig' puts the plame where it belongs?
I would thing it made us just like them.

It's the whole authoritarian thing. The need to control.
All that aggressive, primal stuff.
I don't want to join the club, I don't want to be a good little victim.
Someone who punishes me for being out of the box is a pig.

Unless he has a gun and a badge. Then he only becomes a pig when he's out of earshot.
I'm angry, but I'm still a coward.

Yes, come to think of it, kinda like using prejudice to fight prejudice.

and well, proper name it would be: humans. And humans are humans and so humans. That is the ultimate insult ;)

Not at all. In the original question, they were already identified as "people who hate" for a stupid reason. To assume that all NTs hate would be prejudice.

I agree with sinsboldly. To quote someone, "I'm rubber. You're glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you."

Well, as the guy who started the "Why do black men go for white women ?" thread, you should know.

Haha, Interesting point!
