Honestly?

I'm pissed off because my $60 wireless mouse has a shitton of lag and it's wasting my precious time. I leave it alone for like 10 minutes and I have to either wait 3 minutes for it to work again or I have to unplug it and then plug it in and lose it's ability to use side scrolling and special buttons. It's bad enough my fucking Apple mighty mouse was junk, now Logitech sucks too? Who's dick do I have to suck to get a decent mouse?

I don't see rudeness there. It's honest. Yes, I curse without my filters on. And I complain. It's a part of being human. But it's not rude. It's often rude to lie, in fact. When in the article the author tells little 5 year old Allison that the bug is dead, he was being honest with her about something that children should be aware of, in my opinion (and my opinion is often right). The fact that she ran off to complain just shows that her parents don't really know what they're doing. If you're old enough to understand the concept of life you should understand death. Even if you're a theist, which I suspect her parents are. Yep, I'm condescending without my filter, too, but rude?

Banton, on the other hand, is just a prick. He's laughing at the times when he says "shit" like he's the 8 year old son of a drunk. He's inconsistent with his own bullshit, and it's apparent that this whole thing is about being allowed to be rude. He needs to take a seminar on how he's an idiot and he's screwing up a good idea. And how he's an alcoholic, and I'm sure very few people he meets respect him at all. I know I don't and I've only read an account of him.

I would have approached this thing completely from a different standpoint. What use is there in Radical Honesty? REAL FUCKING CHANGE. That's right, you're honest so you can self examine better and learn where you need honest improvement. If you find you curse too much, maybe it's time to admit that cursing not only makes you sound stupid, but it serves no purpose. Time to stop cursing not only to everyone else, but to yourself. If you find that when you're being radically honest you treat women like shit, well then it's time for you to fix that. You know that women don't deserve to be treated like shit, obviously, so you teach yourself to be honestly respectful. That's the bottom line. This is a tool for self examination and self betterment.
