I've had the displeasure of knowing a few fellows who hated something enough for violence and, trust me, this kind of person tends to be extra-odinarily stupid. They're the ones that need the extra instructions attached to the hair dryer so they don't try to use it in the shower.
So -- they need things spelled out. "This is good, this is bad." They need to see in print that beating up that fellow because of his color or sexual preference is illegal and will send you to jail.
Trust me on this. The two in question had fairly decent IQs -- but zero common sense or ability to understand cause and effect. And their meanness made them extremely stupid. The fact that either lived to adulthood still surprises me.
So yeah, you need to spell it out for these people.
