Verbal Abuse is Just Plain Wrong

Posted by borgra on March 23, 2007

Listening to The Motts(husband and wife team of Paul & Carol Mott)on CFRB one of the topics was of students at a protest who said things about their teachers on Facebook. Some very nasty things.

I agree with The Motts when it was said that verbal abuse is wrong. It’s wrong for me to verbally abuse you. It’s wrong for the students to verbally abuse the teachers. It’s wrong for the teachers to verbally abuse the students.

So then why is it okay for Simon Cowell to verbally abuse people on American Idol?(example: the guy Simon called a “bush-baby” as his what-he-looks-like had nothing whatsoever to do with his siging abilities or lack thereof).

In other words it’s also wrong for Simon Cowell to verbally abuse anyone.
