Is nice something beyond the courtesy and respect that all deserve in their dealings with us? If so, you do not need to be nice to anyone. It might be “nice” to be nice, but who can care if dealt with, with courtesy and respect.

If the alternatives to nice are being, crude, rude, mean, or disrespectful, etc., it generally is a bad idea. Such behavior is not becoming as a minimum, and it can result in violence, revenge, or other undesirable behavior back towards oneself. This is especially so when dealing with people who have limited intelligence and / or are given to feeling disrespected even when that is not true. Persons with a bad temper are another matter. Persons with limited intelligence and a bad temper, well …..

All this is not to say that you are not entitled to defend yourself. Mostly it is all about not putting oneself in a position needlessly where you have to defend yourself.

LOL- Define stupidity! There are a lot of stupid people out there. Even the ones you believe to be intelligent. So that would involve being mean to a sizeable amount of people.

Life is too short to be mean and being mean wouldn't make me feel good as a person. My mum taught me to treat others the way that you would like to be treated yourself.

Love the Rugrats! :-)
