Way to take away from real offensive issues.

"Holding people's speech hostage"? You are free to say whatever you want to say. Likewise, I am free to say whatever I want to say, including my opinions about what you said.

But 'll will be labled "offensive" or "cruel" by you. People are easily marked now as racist or sexist for the smallest comment, so yes, I agree it's like holding your tongue hostage.

Oh no!

Why do you care what I think?

People like you are so aggravating. Do you have any friends? Non imaginary ones.

Here is the argument.

1. People who take offense at non-offensive things are stupid.
2. I can't say non-offensive things lest those stupid people who take offense at non-offensive things take offense.

That doesn't make sense.

Wut

Because it is. It's a figure of speech, AND it's offensive. Just as a rich person saying "I'm broke" is a figure of speech AND offensive.

Do you have any awareness of how uncomfortable people with your mindset make others?

I don’t spend my time around people with the pp.’s mindset. Why would I want to be around someone who I had to “walk on eggshells” around when conversing? I suppose pp could find something offensive in pretty much anything I would say. No thanks.

And now you've offended chickens!

Check your featherless privilege.

After walking out of the hospital the next time I saw a healthy, fat baby I cried. It changed how I interpret the word "starving" and I don't let my daughter say it anymore.

So, I guess when I say "I'm feel fat" that is offensive also?

I literally groaned and rolled my eyes while reading this.

Do you not understand context clues? How do you function in society?

They don't they wring their hands and bully others into behaving how they want them to behave.

"Retard" is no longer okay. "I'm starving" is fine. Not offensive.

Why is one no longer okay but the other is fine?

Because the firmer is name calling in the worst sense

Yes, I too miss the good old days when people could make offensive comments without negative consequences.

I think people who take offense at innocuous everyday comments like 'I'm starving" are just posers. They want the rest of us to be impressed with their extreme sensitivity and attention to the less fortunate of the world but really we just consider them pains in the ass we'd never want to be friends with.

Understanding that stating "I'm starving" is not a literal statement in most conversations is not "bullying others into behaving how they want them to behave". Try again.

You should give reading comprehension a try before commenting.

Isn't there a difference between insensitive and offensive?

[Anonymous]

"I'm frozen to the bone"
"I was dead to the world"
"I was out of my mind"

Are these offensive because they are not true, too?

Are people taking things WAAAY too seriously?
