I mean, I probably wouldn't say it in front of a group of homeless people. But offensive? Not really.

It's offensive to people who've starved. I never thought babies were cute because of their healthy baby fat, until I met an Ethiopian baby who'd been flown to the US and was literally, starving to death. She had no baby fat.

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.

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!

Poke a stick in your eye so that you have a real problem to worry about.

+1000. It's just more proof of how privileged people are; not everyone was lucky enough to be born into your over privileged little world. Y'all need to check it.

No. Neither of those are offensive.

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.

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

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