Biggest lie possibly ever .... proven out by TrumpStein

[live love laugh]

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me” is a child's expression used to convey that people can't be harmed by unpleasant words.

The earliest recorded version of the saying appeared in 1862 in The Christian Recorder, an African Methodist Episcopal Church publication. In 1894, GF Northall's Folk-phrases of Four Counties included the expression, which seemed to be a collection of sayings from English counties.”

1. You prove nothing. You don't even discuss your thesis! Not even clear what your thesis might be!

A quote about the history of the expression does nothing to prove your thesis that you don't even discuss.

Possibilities:

1) You think the history is a lie.
2) You think the phrase has nothing to do with hurting people. (unlikely)
3) You think the mere existence of the orange person is a lie.
4) You think that sticks and/or stones don't break bones.
5) You think that words can hurt you.

Assuming it is #5, tRump's existence does not prove it. Are you referring to one or more instances of some words? You'll have to develop a line of discussion referencing some words and then explain how they hurt you. I was unable to read your mind.

A simple plan:

State a thesis: check
State relevant facts: void
Connect facts to thesis: void

simply stated that Trump INDEED was 'hurt' by mere words.

I had no confusion.

6. I was wondering if OP means that or means that tRump words hurt others.

Both apply but what was the OP's point, and was there any insight other than stating a fact 100% of DU is aware of (whichever of the two facts was intended).
