          Would not have been in the Aussie Army, we did not allow "shirt lifters" in the case of men or "dud droppers" in the womens` services.

                    Obviously that little poem came from better times before 'Political Correctness', today names hurt people and they will sue you..   As far as the 'sticks and stones' that too has given way to AK-47's and IED's..

                                Doolitle disagrees with this statement. Verbal abuse is essentially an assault on someone's soul.

                                        It will take some people a lifetime to find themselves after sustained verbal abuse.  The affect it has on a brain can ruin a life.

                                          Caddam said it all.  I've seen so many kids suffering for years due to words said to them.  Words I beleive might hurt more than sticks and stones.  Sticks and stones just make you want to hurt somebody.  Words hurt the spirit.
