What do you think of people who tolerate all sorts of verbal abuse?

<p>Do you know such people?</p>

<p>I don't know, but I guess I tolerate a lot of phrases that few people tolerate. But there are ways to make those phrases <em>really</em> hurt - most people just don't think of them.</p>

<p>Yeah, one of my friends takes a toooooooooon of crap from people, and I really don’t know why. </p>

<p>He is a little weird, but in a nice, goofy, innocent way, so he’s not a freak or anything. But people dog him non-stop. About random things. Mostly his ethnicity. He’s very proud of it and I guess people get annoyed.</p>

<p>But he takes soooo much crap, and I think I’m finally starting to get around to him when I ask him why he takes it all. Most of the time he just smilies and takes it in. I do that sometimes, I get made fun of, we all do. But I also poke fun and dog people, but I keep it even and don’t berate the crap out of people and I make sure they make fun of me too sometimes. </p>

<p>But sometimes/most of the time I fight back and have something to retort with. But he never really does anything and seems to get crapped on everyday. </p>

<p>Oh well, I guess that makes him a good person, turning the other cheek. And I’m trying to corrupt him from that. lol</p>
