In reply to the discussion: George Takei: "50 people are dead, and you bask in congratulations." [View all]moriah
(8,311 posts)55. There are times that strong language from someone who rarely uses it is effective.
The worst Takei has resorted to in the pursuit of an effective message was calling the Arkansas school official who said gay teens should kill themselves a "douchebag", but still pretty intense for Takei. And he followed it up with a much more effective put down.
