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.

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.

What did their menu look like?

I do not think it is clever; it is just crude.  I would not feel in any way tempted to stop there.

Ah yes the infamous menu... What sort of pathetic man would write something like that.... And then blame the chef lol

Yella fella is another aboriginal saying. Balanda is not so good either because it denotes a skin colour rather than a person.

[aps1080]

Never heard Yella Fella said.

 Debra

The same sort as the ladies who call LNP pollies lying, fat and nasty ?

If it had been on a comedy show like in the past, no one would have said anything.

She can't be wrapped in cotton wool because she is a woman when cartoons of male

pollies enhance certain parts of their body.

[debra9275]

What cartoons of male pollies enhance body parts? Pickering?


You and I obviously read very different literature

I thought the menu was pathetic, sexist, inapropriate and offensive, especially coming from politicians,

Great role models not. He lost his seat that bloke mal brough didn't he? I hope so anyway

No, he is in there in the thick of it.  Ashby was used to get him elected. 

He is ambitious, and he was one of those who forced abbott to ditch the $20 idea.
