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.

There is a diffrence between commenting in a  forum on someone's apperence and writing an obscene description of someone as a  as a deliberatei insult and printing it on a card with the intention  that it will  be passed around and sniggered over by those who disliked her.

Only if you still live in the 20th Century.

Is this a hacked account? Spelling atrocious. Context appalling.

Someone who clearly posted a straight answer.

I was playing a bit of devils advocate on this.

Nevyn I appreciate that you dislike me personally. I'm cool with that, and  and of course nobody can prevent you from holding any opinion you wish;; but since your snide comments have no bearing whatsoever on the subject under dicussion, they do rather illustrate the point I made in another thread about the uses and abuses of freedom of speech.

Oh dear.

I don't dislike anyone. The fact you bring that up is interesting.

As to your "point" no they don't. It indicates that I'm tired of the high and mighty picking at others differing opinions when basically, your the same as your target. Someone with an opinion. Though in this case, for the most part, different to yours. Is it not allowed to have a different opinion? If so, it should say so when we log in, shouldn't it?

I'm slipping what exactly?

[nevynreally]

And, I don't think of you much at all. Just happened to log in and read that post. That's allowed, isn't it?

LOL You missed one.

I love it when someone picks on someone elses spelling or grammar and then makes a mess of their next post.

Exactly why I picked it.

I fixed mine.

Is it time for the group attack?

You missed one. "basically, your the same as your target."
