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.

What if their intention is merely to edify, for the benefit of that person
That is the only reason I would ever do it.

Dargent, holy corpse on a sourdough rye… this thread was last active in 2015! I don’t think I was posting here at that time.
Hopefully some of the people to whom you’ve posted are still active and happy to take up this topic again.
The world has changed so much in the interim… Anyway, welcome (back?)…

Dargent, some years ago a tornado blew through here and many posters have gone on permanent holidays.
Tommy Irene has passed.
About the only one left from this thread is She Ele and sometimes Debra
