Saying nothing to the insulter is a slightly better way to express an insult than telling the insulter the absolute truth. The two ways are best.

Wow and you still have a job,you’re good man.

Yep i am totally getting there.I just don’t give a fuck about what anyone thinks anymore.I have realised how weak and pathetic they really are and how strong i can be if i want to.The strength lies in not giving a shit.If you give a fuck about what people think about you then you will decieve yourself and not be yourself.However if you just don’t give a fuck,then you are yourself ‘cos you are not moulding yourself to any pathetic lamers’ wishes.  
Bye
