COMMENT | Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me

COMMENT | I was initially very annoyed at the recent incident at the Crackhouse Comedy Club involving the couple who allegedly performed and then posted an online video of a so-called comedy routine during an open mic night.

I was annoyed because not only did I not find what they did funny, but it was also downright distasteful.

And then the couple’s recent social media past started to resurface, I just saw them as two people who were really desperate for attention and who would do anything to get it.

So when the two of them were remanded for investigation, I didn’t think twice about it at first. But then, my sanity slowly started to reveal itself.

I have always been a believer in fighting words with words. Violence or extremism has never been in my books when it comes to disagreement or differences of ideas. I don’t mind arguing aggressively with my voice, or even the banging of tables, while in the heat of the moment. But that should be the extent of it.
