It aggravates me to no end man. These clowns waste so much time talking BS. I'm sure you've been in there when they get into a "heated debate/exchange" on some sh*t? It's a freaking power trip with power words to see who owned who....complete BULLSHIT!. Then they brag about it late "see how I challenged him?" "see how he tried to turn me but I took control?" BULL...lol
I could axe kick them all in their left shoulder. Bunch of leg crossing chumps. P.S. I'm the "I could careless" I.T. Director BTW. lol
Are you trying to say, that someone controlled you with words? As the saying goes, "Words are like bullets, you can't take them back", so do like Jay-Z, when they throw 2 you throw 4 back...spray the mofos...
I once saw this book in the library, I read a little of of it, it was called something like "Verbal Jiu Jitsu" or something like that. Showing how to arrange your sentence structure in speech and in writing to get te desired result, without the other person knowing or without offending that person. It also showed how to get info from that person by asking a question in a way (non direct?) that you got more info from that person than you would have gotten, with a direct question.
