The Easily Offended

[nero_bolt]

People today are so easily offended.

Its something we see on a daily basis on here from some,  people constantly state that they are offended by this or that or this post or that post and it’s something we see on a daily basis in the real world and on the news.   Someone always seems to take offense to minor issues and free speech and has to tell the world and tell us all that they are "OFFENDED" or take "OFFENSE" at this or that

One of the lessons that most of us learned at an early age was, "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me."  When I grew up it wasn't called "bullying," it was called teasing and having a bit of fun at each other’s expense  and we grew thick skin from it and got on with life.  NOW so many people are offended by so many minor things.

Maybe today's world and the soft***** (soft roosters) need to grow a little thick skin  and stop being so easily offended by everything.

So thoughts, are some to easily offended and take offense to everything.

A Sheriff in a small town in Texas walks out in the street and sees a blond haired cowboy coming toward him with nothing on but his cowboy hat, his gun and his boots. He arrests him for indecent exposure. As he is locking him up, he asks 'Why in the world are you walking around like this?' The cowboy says, 'Well it's like this Sheriff ...... I was in this bar down the road and this pretty little red head asks me to go out to her motor home with her. So I did. We go inside and she pulls off her top and asks me to pull off my shirt... So I did. Then she pulls off her skirt and asks me to pull off my pants.... So I did. Then she pulls off her panties and asks me to pull off my shorts...so I did. Then she gets on the bed and looks at me kind of sexy and says, 'Now go to town, cowboy.. ' 'And here I am.' Son of a Gun. Blonde Men do exist!!!!

Don't worry Nevvy.  We all make typos. I only comment to the spelling police.

Really? Did you even read the post I picked? And picked because it's supposed to be from someone educated, and even published.

But you'll pick my typos?

Squeeze up everyone.  The bus is getting full 😄

Is that the Spelling Police bus or the Grammar Police bus LOL

[j*oono]

I think it's a little bit of the outrage bus 

[nevynreally]

It's the control freak bus.

If someone's using an iPad or something like that words magically change . I make heaps of typos & spelling errors and am always having to edit my posts, so if anyone's post is less than perfect, I wouldn't take it too seriously or be offended by it

So I am slipping how? Am I not allowed to give my honest opinion?

Spot on. I was going to post the same thing re ipads.

I gave up going back and editing posts all the time.

Yeah it gets a bit annoying doesn't it mine seems to make perfecly good words into ones that don't make any sense. Sometimes you don't even know words have changed till you post here and read back over it
