do you think people are too easily offended?

[jonathan_matos5]

well do you?

[Mr. Black]

Yep.....

And those people deserve to be offended.

[RedemptionBass]

Wait just a minute here. What are you insinuating? I am personally offended at your line of questioning.





Um.....yes. People are just stupid about it.

[mike_v_s]

Some are. Equally problematic, in my opinion, are the people that know their opinions aren't shared by others but feel the need to drop them on a group anyway, like a big unwelcomed turd.

exactly. people need to more calloused. somethings are just jokes and people need to laugh instead of crying to their mothers.

[Bob Lee (QSC)]

A lot of already thin-skinned people seem to try to make their skin even thinnner.

[cumquott]

I can't believe you asked. I'm offended.

Honestly, I think people need to relax a little and understand that everyone is different and has a different viewpoint. That said, some people need to be a little more sensitive to their surroundings sometimes. And to try to be offensive is silly, except maybe amongst friends.

It helps to realize that the human mind is capable of ANYTHING. There are no bounds to thought.

So, In summary:

• Relax! Would ya?
• Stop it! Would ya?

Now, someone post something decent. Can't wait to see where this goes...

Dammit, I wanted to be first responder. Geez you guys post freaking FAST!!!

[flakeh]

yep. I can't anything without offending someone. I said dink today and offended someone. Come on. Dink? Thats lame.


I said " Stop being a dinkoff " to a friend, Some girl starts saying how thats innapropriate and doesn't like it when I talk like that. I do tend to swear like a sailor when I'm angry, or confused, And she has said it makes her uncomfortable, but dink? laaaame.

[Disco_Gee]

Yes I do.

[disenchant]

I personally think we've raised a generation of wusses.

We tiptoe around subjects instead of calling them like they are. We compliment kids over and over (falsely) to build "self esteem" and then the kids go out into the real world and can't understand why everyone else doesn't think they are the cat's meow. We have to be so darn PC as to avoid hurting anyone, so much so that you can't use the world "Christmas" in advertisements anymore. Can you believe we were told to call them "Holiday trees?" What OTHER holiday uses a decorated pine tree on December 25th?

I think the more we become "offended" the more powerful those things that offend become. And tiptoeing around things is just plain ridiculous.

That being said, there are those out there who get pleasure out of hurting others. And those people deserve to be donkey punched.

[Mon Rominee]

Of course I do. Case in point: the deletion of the Lohan/Monroe thread. Which one of you dinks screwed that one up?

Well said.

If so, then tsk tsk.

[mike_v_s]

[MakiSupaStar]

When I get offended I throw poo at it so it smells like me, then I get happy.

People do that because it's fun to piss off others sometimes.
