How did you try being nice? You have a war on everything... Drugs, freedom, privacy.. Im honestly not sure how you see yourself as being nice...
High road? Im also not sure how you took the high road. Im genuinely interested, maybe my perspective here is completely wrong.
You know, those oneliners may sound cool when you are a teenager, but they are signs of a mind who thinks in absolutes, because there is no wisdom yet.
It will come through life and getting older. :)
