Can you go 24-hours without saying anything unkind about anybody?

I have been extremely critical of American voters for electing and reelecting candidates who appear to be undermining individual liberty in exchange for safety nets, the illusion of fairness, and other utopian ideals. In other words candidates who violate their oaths of office to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. I attempt to dissuade We the People from this practice with utterances that are often seen as hurtful by those whose ideology I am attacking. Just now I found this challenge in a lecture delivered on the website Prager University and wondered, "Could I go 24-hours without attacking the ideologues who appear to me as enemies of all that I hold dear"? Then I began to wonder, "Why should I"? What do you think?

Yes I can; but, some days it is much more difficult CPT Jack Durish.
That being said I can not go an hour without having an unkind thought pop into my head. I have learned to think before speaking which I something I hope many candidates for office work on :-)

CPT Jack Durish I am far too sarcastic to not say anything negative to someone for a whole day. Even when I try to be nice, inevitably I will run into someone during the course of the day that makes me hope they don't reproduce.

Irony: A lecturer who refers to someone as a blabaholic. They get paid thousands of dollars an hour to blab.

CPT Jack Durish - The lecturer is talking about simple statements of fact. He is referring to if you knew a co worker was a drug addict, would you blab. The answer to that is no. That is unless their behavior directly impacts my ability to maintain employment, perform my job functions, or puts the company at risk. At that point I am obligated to bring it to the attention of my boss. Now if someone does something stupid Including myself) I will make a remark about it. Many times I have done something boneheaded and responded to the situation with the immortal words of Foghorn Leghorn "Fortunately I keep all of my feathers numbered for just such an occasion." When it is someone around me, I just engage sarcasm. SO in the context of the question in the video, yes I think the majority of people can go 24 hours without gossiping about others.
