And I would have had NO problem had the girl said "You are wrong. You 
are evil. You are despicable. You have hurt me, and abused me."

It's not that I'm condemning a girl who might use intemperate or 
disrespectful language towards an adult who was abusive or neglectful 
to her. I understand that she might do so.

But I want my kids to be empowered to confront someone clearly and 
energetically and not resort to name-calling.

Besides, there's no context in 5 minutes in a video store.
