After those services, I have been tempted to tell someone that I am sorry... I hope they die.... and go to... heaven!

Those are completely non-scriptural services, by the way. There is nothing in scripture that says you're supposed to go to someone you don't like and apologize. I'd have people come up to me and tearfully say, "I've had a really hard time with you and I just couldn't stand you" and I'd go, "Huh??" and it would mess me up for a couple of days wondering who else might hate me.
We're only instructed in scripture to go make it right with people with whom we've had a conflict.

She came away with her own conclusions, and most of them were pretty satisfactory to me as a parent.
We don't avoid foul content altogether; if it's going to be used for a purpose, then we frame it and are there for discussion.
A good example would be some of the books and movies I have on the *required list* for high school:
Uncle Tom's Cabin
Schindler's List (book & movie)
Life Is Beautiful
Catcher In the Rye
Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl (book & movie)
The Passion of the Christ
Leaves of Grass

I think I'll start a new thread for you! 
"NOW, I have had very strong feelings of dislike, yeah, even hatred for you..... I am so sorry! Lord knows I want to make heaven my home - and even you may be there. Will you forgive me NOW?

And by the way, Hoovie, you drive me nuts. I can't stand ex-Amish Chimney-sweeps. You guys are a joke and I have no use for you. I apologize for feeling that way. Will you forgive me?

I typed the post underneath your post at the same time you were typing yours!
You know, CC1 did a smart-aleck hit thread on me and it turned into a lovefest for me. (that seriously meant a lot to me) So now we could do a "I hate NOW and I'm sorry" thread!!

Could be all those years of hats and suspenders, or the followup years of breathing soot... but I could care less actually.
You can kiss my creosote covered flue brush!

This is HIS offensive thread. Back off, Betsy!

Only this time we will culminate it with making you disappear and then locking the thread!

And I am offended by people who say, "I could care less" than the correct way, which is, "I couldn't care less." I think you're a moron and I'm sorry. Will you forgive me? (this could get fun)
It took me time but I learned on AFF how to call people names without actually doing it. I think I may have stumbled into a completely new way to insult people.
"Hey ________, I think you're an idiot. I'm sorry for feeling that way. Do you forgive me?"
This could work!!!
