We're not talking about things like calling black people monkeys or doing heil hitlers here though.

I'm willing to bet money that 95% of this community has, as kids or teenagers, likely before knowing any better:

- called something "gay" as an insult
- called something "retarded" or "special" as an insult
- called something "autistic" as an insult or used the word sperg as a verb
- called something or someone a "spaz" or "spastic"
- called someone a "pussy" or "bitch" to indicate cowardice or otherwise called something "girly" as an insult
- asked insultingly if someone who is obviously neither blind nor deaf, is blind or deaf

Tons of people, especially kids, can be bigots without realizing they are bigots.

The key word there is KIDS. I was talking about teenagers/early 20s, because that's the age range mentioned in the secret.

I have zero issue believing that kids (like middle schoolers or younger) use words that they overhear from adults or teenagers that they don't know are wrong, and I don't blame them for that.

My point was that TEENAGERS are old enough to know right from wrong.

Take the words "kids" out of there and replace it with "anywhere between 13-18" and I would still bet the money.

I don't think anyone here is talking about people over 20, and none of those were mentioned in the secret.

But up to 20 no one is expected to know right from wrong? Really?

You can know something is wrong but not be fully cognizant of why and how it is wrong, or just how wrong and hurtful it can be. That's the majority of teenagers.

That's the majority of teenagers.

Not the ones I was friends with. Not to say I didn't know teenagers who said those things, but I didn't hang out with them because even back then I knew that behavior wasn't acceptable.
