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.

almost every post contains a "you lot" as he attempts to put people down and shut them up. Poor diddums must think it's him or her against the world. Everything is a fight.
Something coming from the pit of the stomach. Can only lead to illness. Not ulcers, because we now know what their real cause is, but some other disease.

Here's an idea. How about just not calling any other poster names or post dog picture to depict them. You know, like a fully grown adult person.

Geez, you sound a bit easily offended
After being called welfare 1, a tax dodger, the looney left amongst other things, I don't see anything wrong with saying the rabid right. I've actually said that about 4 times over the past 2 weeks. I'm not used to calling people names, but the more I do it, the easier it's getting

Coming from one who posts like in the Govt thread, that is a joke.
The Rabid left are in full swing already.
Now you cant complain about that as Rabid is the word you used to describe us.
And since when do you have the right to put down us but we don't have the same ?
I will call ALP, Greenies and the left what I like, when I like and f you dont like it,
Well I dont like how you put down the LNP but I cop it by firing back, which you dont like.
So you can't tell the difference between a meme of abbott and a picture of a pack of dogs to depict other posters?
No, I DO NOT call you or other posters rabid, unless you are abbott in which case you should use your name so we know not to offend you.
You really should read back over the posts before you accuse other people. I do not, nor have I seen other put you down, call you names or use swear at you. All the F words peppering the thread are yours, and only yours.

I remember something like that going on at a Labor luncheon I attended.
They went on and on about Jacobs Creek, that it was only for the plebs and they wouldn't be caught dead drinking it.
Jacobs Creek, one of the most successful wine labels ever exported. Ho hum, elitist rabble, what else can one expect.

Not having a go at ayone in particular.
But if you feel that it's directed towards you, well...?
