      Do you think it is possible for someone to do damage just by saying things?

      Are there a series of words and suggestions someone could do to induce others to do harmful things?

      Can words impact people at all?

        I think words are less damaging than bullets shot into someone’s body. If you are so fragile that words hurt you to the point of becoming a homicidal maniac, you should probably be checked into a behavioral health facility ASAP.

          Not an answer to the question. I require absolutes, not relative statements.:)

      Are you braindead? You think saying stuff like “the second Amendment is worth some deaths” or “If I see a Black pilot, I’m gonna be like ‘boy, I hope he is qualified,’” are just regular “opinions”? The guy who’s a main contributor to the reelection of the traitor criminal rapist who’s destroying the lives of millions? Foff

        Okay buddy, America’s economy will improve for all legal Americans and our border is finally much safer from criminal cartel rings. I’ll take that over the other options any day. But I live near the border and we have suffered immensely under Biden. You probably live in a safe ivory tower somewhere.
