you do not always have to reply to him....and if you continue lowering yourself to his level....you will not be any better than he is...
truly ignoring him is not replying....
and yes....if you do take yourself too seriously....you will notice no one will take you seriously at all..
it is already working with me.....
stop giving him the power over your emotions....all he is doing is "baiting" you....and apparently he is an excellent fisherman....he keeps "reeling" you in....
"if you take yourself so seriously all the time, you will start to notice no one takes you seriously at any time"
good day
I do not take myself seriously. I already said that.
This NOT about me. Its about providing a counterpoint to one's bigotry.
I tried that experiment of IGNORING his Anti-Polish bigotry and guess what? It doesn't work. If you keep turning the other cheek, you're not going to have a cheek.
Frankly he would like nothing more then for me to "be afraid" and not say something. SORRY but I'm not going to give him that satisfaction. He would be saying MORE if he didn't think I would dish it back to him.
Also you're also totally ignoring something else. And that's the power of the BIG LIE technique where the more you repeat something the more people tend to believe it. WHY do you think he keeps repeating himself??
In fact as Hitler said, the MORE ABSURD something is to repeat, the more people will tend to believe it because most people would think NOBODY would have the nerve to say it if it was untrue.
Polish people in Nazi Germany were mercilessly attacked with this technique with big Lies about "Polish inferiority, "Polish people having subhuman intelligence" and all types of other crap.
Then ironically Leftist Polish-haters in the 1960's and 1970's in Hollywood and NBC-TV introduced this same anti-Polish Nazi propaganda into the US because of their hatred of Poles. This only died down when Polish people complained. The same way how Anti-Semitic slurs in the US, racist slurs againt Blacks and racism against other groups decreases - is when people speak up!
Chuck I know you mean well, but I just respectfully disagree with you on this.
