If it is not one in the original sense, then at least in the colloquial sense?

I don't even want to live in a world where believing in the good that's possible in a person has to take second chair to a constant guard against possibly saying something that you cool kids might make fun of.
Well, okay, I mean, I don't really want to die or anything, but, honestly, how much net pain do you bring to the world with an outlook that denigrates good intentions?
Should I not feed the homeless, on the off chance that one of them might be you or Paigow bursting into laughter at me for falling for your charade? If I bleed, are you not a prick? (Wait, I said that one wrong . . .)
