I have to say that your observation is a correct one Mark and the rest of y'all(yes I said y'all) people nowadays seem to get offended at the most innocent of thing's. The other night at school for example, being surrounded by teenagers mind you, I was a bit tired after putting in 12 hours already and having another 4 to go before I got home, I was zoned out and staring in this one fellows direction when suddenly he got an attitude about me staring at his "space" I mean for crying out loud his space encompassed the back half of the classroom. He even got up and started to make threatening gestures. I was flabergasted by this it even took a me a moment to collect my thought's about what to say or do. This just an example of rudeness in some people, I will not get into the particulars of what happend after this but it was rather funny and I didnt even have to say a word other then listen to what your girlfriend has to say. It was rather nice.. He had no respect for anyone but his girlfriend which is silly if you think about it. hmm ah well I think I have shot off my original topic. heh

I am offended at everyone being so offended, it is offensive to be offended by offenders being defensive while trying to be offensive when they are actually being silly!

Might I suggest that if you can't bear other peoples opinions and beliefs that you try to saty out of such conversasions... I mean I stay out of them because they bore me, but if you go there just to get offended you reeeeally need a new hobby... [img]smile.gif[/img]

For the record, I think the only thing Lott is guilty of is being stupid, or at least not thinking about what he was saying. His voting record on equal rights issues is as good as or better than some democrats if you look at their whole carreers ***cough***Dixicrats***cough***

Yes it is Yorick.
I've stated in this thread I am guilty of it. I am not accusing anyone of anything. I meant this to be about whether you (meaning anyone) thought that being offended has become more common lately. That we are all becoming too thin skinned. I'm not bashing anyone. Is my "posting style" so poor that what I post is indecipherable. I'm just trying to get some discussion going on a plausible subject. That's all. Mark |
