Oh, I do too. I called you a dick because of what I see as an aggressive and adolescent attitude. I could also have said; dill,drongo or dropkick. The terms are interchangeable. Please note that I did NOT call you a cunt,as that would have been an insult rather than just a blunt description of behaviour.
Fine, call me a "dick". But that is exactly the point. Our species spends way to much time politically and violently globally trying to silence dissent and and blasphemy, but in general to all reading this to imply or think that minorities and atheists don't do the same thing is absurd. The objections raised here on questioning peoples beliefs proves to me that even atheists are no different.
When you understand why I am not screaming because you called me a "dick", then you will understand why I am being a "dick".
I hate political correctness and I have seen far too much of human history to understand why "don't pick on me" is a bad tactic.
Call me a dick all you want, I still get to go to bed at night without fearing you or you fearing me. THAT IS THE POINT.
So yea, if it gets more people to the point of being less PC and less thought police I will continue to be a "dick". I value my rights too much to hand those rights into the hands of others, and if that means I get offended by the words of others then "dick" is the worst I have to endure.

And while we are at it, if anything really offends me, it is your over use of the sarcastic angle emotocon
Change it up would ya?
