Revenge is sweet?
Sticks and stones?

Stick and stones.
Kill them with kindess.
Be the bigger person.
Turn the other cheek.
Don'y stoop to their low.

I know many people who have, unfortunately, suffered and died from cancer and heart failure because they wallowed in resentment, bitterness, and anger. The chemicals released by your body during these angry times wear your body down. You're only hurting yourself in the long run.
Eye for an eye for an eye and so on. You're just going to get more rudeness from other people. Bad energy all around to waste your time getting upset. They're not going to remember you, so why bother yourself.
You don't need to let them know they p'ed you off. They don't care if they did or not. And even if they were trying to p you off purposely, I find it burns them more if I just smile and walk away. Booyah!

Do you want World peace?
I believe that the answer to World Peace is tolerance and understanding.
Be a contributor to the cause. Changing the World startes with one person at a time.
Also, do not allow people to make you angry.
Show that you're greater than any amount of anger they could ever bestow on you.
And if they're being mean, then show them how fulfilling it is to be nice.
Be happy :]

No. There are ways to get you're point across to someone that will tell them that what they are doing is unacceptable without having to put yourself on their level. If you were rude to every person who pissed you off, the tension could escalate over something stupid. Remember...stupid people do stupid things. These days, people have anger problems are quick to shoot someone over a stupid comment. Sometimes what people say just isn't important enough to risk putting yourself in a predicament. You can be the better person and still defend yourself without having to be ugly.

I've seen, and remembered your picture, It's kind-of attractive to me I don't know why. I've also read some of your Q's and As I've come to conclude you thrive in conflict a little to much, Maybe your comfortable in this dueling with others, but life is to short for me to enter the arena of turmoil and bickering. Don't get so pissed it's unhealthy and wont affect a change for the better.

Rather short-sighted.
How do you expect them to react to your rudeness? Thank you for it? Smile sweetly?
Or, more likely, get mad, and seek revenge.
If you enjoy having your life filled with conflicts, and want to create a lot of enemies, then you're going about it the right way.
Soon, with any luck, everyone you ever encounter will hate you and look for every opporunity to do you harm.
Enjoy!

If you like, but it would seem to be more productive to examine why you allow people to pi$$ you off. Why do you give them that sort of power over you?

Gee, what an interesting question. Maybe if every one thought like that we wouldn't have eyes or teeth.

Somebody has to be the bigger person so that an argument does not turn into a war.

"eye for an eye" is old testament. Jesus said we are to ALWAYS forgive and ALWAYS LOVE our enemy(s).
Two wrongs don't made things right.
