It seems that as time goes by people are saying or doing things that are offensive and more and more people are offended.

The most glaring example, of course, is the US Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott debacle.
Many people were offended, but one person interviewed on ABC said he didn't think "racism" was a bad word.

Being offended is a very personal thing, though when many feel the same way it can grow into a movement. But grandstanding at being offended to shore up a person or group's side of an argument is helpful to no one, if it is not fully truthful.

Your thoughts?

BINGO!! MEGA DITTOS ( for well, you know who you are )
My thoughts are the Union is doomed we are quickly becoming a nation of crybaby whinners, Lord I learned before 1st grade that sticks and stones may break my bones but word can never hurt me. Call me what you want to call me I DON'T CARE I am what I am and who I am, I will not be embarrassed or hurt by anything said about me unless I allow it!
