The art of the offense

What do you find offensive?

I think I am at that age where I have seen and heard it all, and nothing really offends me anymore. Do you think some people are overly sensitive and overreact to something they view as offensive? How would you deal with an individual like that?

 

Great question.

I am at the point where little offends me. I feel like I have seen the worst in people, and the worst in this world.

Usually the only people with the potential to offend me are people I like and/or care about. Then I take things personally, though perhaps I shouldn't.

I feel like I offend a lot of people just by having an opinion sometimes. I know a lot of people -- IRL and URL -- think I am an arrogant prick, and in a way I am, though it's not like I intend to come across that way. Sometimes I just do. In a way it bothers me, but in a way it's like "fuck it" -- you can't please everyone.

 

as my level of offendability goes down, my level of annoyability goes up.

 

i get very offended by deceit

 

It's silly but I can still get easily offended by hypocrisy. People are stupid and we are all hypocrites at some point, I don't blame anyone for that, but when someone claims to be openminded for instance while only respecting opinions that are in agreement with their own. This mainly bothers me when I'm confronted with it directly. In theory I am not offended by anything

lol!!!

 

Creed or Nickleback -- which sucks more?

 

how about deceit?

I get offended by people talking racist or homophobic crap, it happens a lot at work but I try to ignore it.

 

Nothing offends me. Except when someone doesn't follow the rules in threads I made.

 

I am not easily offended.However to be bullied or see another person bullied I find very offensive.I have a nose for injustice and I see it everywhere.Bullying can operate on many levels,from the inter-personal to the trans-national.

 

once a certain level of suck is achieved, it becomes immeasurable, so i don't think a comparison is possible.

 

yes...that to....thank you

 

In broader terms, I'm offended by injustice, which I see all the time.

But as I don't think that's what your getting at, I don't have my buttons pushed too easily anymore. If anything I'm a bit of a button pusher.

 

nobody can offend you without your permission.

 

In high school I wrote a paper about being an "offensive driver" but I don't think that's what you were asking about here.

 

I get offended when I tell a story and everyone feels like they have to tell a better one.

 

Sexism or racism being committed in ways that takes advantage of previous times in history when that particular sex or race was oppressed sexually or racially.

 

i don't get offended in the: "good lord!" *drops monocle into champagne glass* sort of way.

i just get pissed off, i find that's more productive.

 

People who get offended by all sorts of shit and bitch about it offend me. I find being offended very offensive.
