If I say "Mong is an offensive word because it is both slightly racist and prejudice against disabled people" I'm not insulting anyone by stating this, I'm just stating an opinion about a word.
If the topic was let's all insult a member of the forum then you might have a point but using politically incorrect words to give examples of what politically incorrect words are shouldn't really offend people I think. As long as there's no hidden agenda to insult anyone or anything like that. Which there definitely wasn't in that crazy post I previously put on here.
Additionally I think I won the competition of the most politically incorrect post so far, just sayin.
The task is not just to be politically incorrect. The task is to be maximally politically incorrect. So the insulting aspect of it must be maximized to satisfy the requirement. Don't you think a hidden agenda would help maximize the insulting nature of the comment?
But it was a politically correct statement in our society. The OP is just asking for a statement, there's no mention of who would be saying the statement, if they believe in it and so on. The task is to simply supply a statement that would be considered offensive in our society, and also judging by the way the OP was phrased using the term "Our society" I'd expect them not to be talking about statements which will insult individual members of this forum, but just statements that are considered offensive on a larger scale in developed countries in the world (assuming kitan is talking about the society most forum members live within when he says "our society")
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
