An accurate statement or not?

Lol, it happens to the best of us ;)

Lol. I still am hoping for an edit meme and comment option.

it depends on when the socks were last washed...

Words can hurt, but of course not physically...they can have a lasting impact on your life, to the detriment or positive, and it does have a lasting impact. But...they cant break your bones...a hammer on the other hand...

It's not really. Both have the power to hurt. I should know from experience. And... Socks? That's a bit silly though.

Lol!

They won't notice I said, it's just a tiny typo. ;)

You are like THE mod for this stream, you cant fix it? I'm guessing no given my previous experience with editing, but still.

Aside from that, no, you will not live this down ;)

Lol! I'm missing a match for my good dress socks, let me know if you find it :)

Sort your own socks buddy! Watch it! ;)

She put the rock in the sock and broke my bones.

And words can hurt.... if you do it right

My socks can pack a punch with my sweaty feet, lol.

Words can hurt, I agree, only if you let them.

Again you remind me of full metal jacket...the sock party where they all put their soap bars in socks and beat Pyle with them...

Gets hit by sock falls off the Willis tower

True.

The world needs to man up and stop being emotional basketcases just because someone said something.

Yes. Not long ago people would be more concerned about surviving, eating, keeping away from disease, hoping you wouldn't be drafted, your 2 kids that never made it out of childhood etc...

Hmmm interesting reasoning & perspective...reminds me of the context of Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" . And also your thoughts seem to align,with Maslows original thoughts on motivation & hierarchy of needs. (Which he had to later refine after looking beyond his own environment & gaining a more culturally competent and global perspective on the needs of human beings ).
So.. For me, it comes down to context. The statement is just too simple to apply absolutely across all circumstances.
A present day example: most comedic acts are just that..comedy .like Dave Chappells "sticks & stones" ...for the most part I found it funny. However, his jokes about the "awesomeness" of being molested by MJ were abhorrent to me.
I try not to trade in absolutes ...i think those short cut heuristics are the reason we as a culture can't have logical debates that allow for the nuaunces of human nature.

For the most part I'd say it's a pretty accurate statement. Although it all depends on the kind of person you are. Some people are overly sensitive and will take everything to heart.

Yep, nowadays we seem to have an abundance of overly sensitive people

How long have you had Brittle bone disease?
