We despise all reverences and all objects of reverence which are outside the pale of our list of sacred things. And yet, with strange inconsistency, we are shocked when other people despise and defile the things which are holy to us. -- Mark Twain
Ok, this page is all about making those who attack us verbally stop their attack by doing one simple thing: confusing or shocking the shit out of them. Nine times out of ten this also make them think (as to whether this is good or bad is debatable but at least you won't have to put up with their crap).
Now, one thing that works is to remember the quote above. One of the easyist ways to shock someone is to make them think you despise that which they love or are.
One great example of this is what gays have done. While straight people have their derogatory remarks (fag, queer, homo, etc.) the gay population have taken the liberty of adopting several derogatory remarks to aim at the straight population. My favorite of these is "breeder". This term is not only accurate if you look in up in a dictionary (unlike faggot or queer) but has the potential to make the person it's directed at feel the same things someone feels when called a fag or queer.
Another thing that is along the same lines but not always the same is to use their beliefs against them. You would be suprised how many beliefs are open to such manuplation.
My favorite example of this by far is something that I did when I was a senior in high school. There was a freshman who thought he was all high and mighty because he was a christian and I wasn't. This "godlover" took a keen delight in calling me a "satanist" and a "fag". One day I decided I had had enough of his crap and brought a bible to school with me. I went up to him and asked him if the worshipped it. Upon hearing his answer (which was "yes" of course) I ripped several pages out of it and proclaimed "Well now you must worship me because I am the bible." I never heard him say another word to or about me. Whether this is because he was to scared of me or shocked out of his wits has yet to be determined.
Perhaps one of the best ways to achieve our goal, however, to to agree with them 100%. This can range from a simple "I sure am" to something a bit more rebellious sutch as:
I'm not A fag, I'm THE fag, and that's MISTER fag to you!
Now several words can be substituted for the word fag in the exclamation above. Bitch, nigger, whore, jap, and queer are just a few.
In closing I will leave you with a couple of one liners and a piece of advice. Be imaginative and be willing to try anything no matter how outrageous. Remember, the bottem line is to get them to leave you alone.
Kick ass one liners:
I am not a drag queen! If I were a drag queen would I have these (pulling up shirt)?!?!?
Hey! I'm not a slut, I'm a bitch.... learn to tell the difference
I wear black because I'm mourning the death of your family. What, you haven't heard...
