I'm honestly annoyed by those who want to limit word usage because they are offended by it. I mean, they're just words. You give far too much power to them. I also don't understand why I don't get to chastise people for words I find offensive; like axk or other bad grammar.Vandalvideo

Who's stopping you? Seems to me that if you really wanted to, you'd do it.

I'm almost never offended. I only get upset when people make jokes about hurting animals.XilePrincess
That's why I'm a PETA supporter (People Eating Tastey Animals) :wink:

Most human beings, by nature, think they are the center of the universe and add to that the fact that Americans have too many liberties and you get a society of easily offended people. I see being offended as a sign of weakness and insecurity.

Yep. Any CNN broadcast is a perfect example. It's rather amusing to watch though.

Words are the most powerful tools a man can ever get. Words can destroy nations, lives and change history.

the thing is that, it isnt you and most likely you will not feel as strong as they do. They have every right to complain on w/e and express their feelings, its America. Dont like it, just ignore. This isnt something new, this is 2009, not 1.

How dare you?! It's a condition, I'll have you know. I'm outraged at your total lack of sensitivity and understanding.jimmyjammer69

HEY!!! He does not have a total lack of sensitivity and understanding. You don't know where he comes from! You don't know the background of any of these people at all. How ignorant. It is sad to see people like you who don't consider our feelings and our backgrounds. Jerk.
