The Internet Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm not even 100% sure what being offended actually is. Seem like in most cases people use the word to point score or have been told that they should feel offended and for some reason that means something.

Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Easy outlets for them to be offended though! FB, twitter etc etc! I'm with Bill Hicks and Stephen FryThis idea of ?I?m offended?Well I?ve got news for you. I?m offended by a lot of things too. Where do I send my list? Life is offensive. You know what I mean? Just get in touch with your outer adult. And grow up. And move on. I?ve seen many comics I?ve hated. I?ve seen many shows that have offended me. I?ve never written a letter. I just go about my life. ?It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so ******* what."

doctor jambo Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Perhaps is because of attempts to eradicate bullying...... Certainly as a kid we used to pelt each other with racial, homophobic and all kinds of other abuse pretty much all the time The fat kid was mocked, the red head the same, the short kid , the spotty kid , the "loose" girl You developed a thick skin and pushed on.

muldoon74 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Saw a post on my facebook the other day that said feminists are offended about Movember.. Apparently its sexist and offensive for men to grow beards and moustaches in order to highlight male cancer issues... I couldn't spend 5 minutes in the company of the sort of person who would get offended by such things. Absolute waste of spunk the lot of them. Of all the things that are shit in this world, people highlight the fact that men can grow beards and (most) women can't.

In fact I believe there is a very large misconception of what most feminists are actually like. There'll be one radical feminist out of a hundred, but those are the ones who make the news. Then your average 'lad' on Facebook will generalise all feminists as crazy based on these stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bit OCD. Like things a certain way, always have to check and double check stuff is switched off etc. Some bint was on FB the other day whingeing that a Xmas jumper had a reindeer and "Obsessive Christmas Disorder on it". It offended her cos she "suffers from" OCD. In my callow youth, if something offended me I might tell the person who'd said it that it was offensive, provided they couldn't kick me head in. Nowadays you just post that shit up on fb or whatever and other saddoes like it. World's going to hell in a handbasket. And another thing...........

tian447 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 People who get easily offended need binned from society imo "Being offended" is one of those things that people say without even thinking about what it actually means. Nothing happens when you're offended, apart from people that make themselves angry and upset about it. I would say that "shocked" is probably a better term for most people who claim to be offended, and then it's those people themselves that make a big song and dance about it, instead of just ignoring it and getting on with the rest of their day. I've already said it, but being offended is more about how much attention you can draw to yourself on social media, than actually being upset about something. No-one has ever died from being offended, but the way people go on about it, you think it's a cancer that's killing society, when in fact, it's these people themselves that are the ****ing problem. Man up*, shut up, and get on with it. *inb4 offended because you're genderfluid and the word man triggers your home diagnosed PTSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
