What Does/Does Not Offend You?

[Athene]

I'm mildly offended when people make disparaging conclusions about my character, based purely on external qualities or incidental circumstances; more so, if I can envision it having a direct impact on my bottom line. 

In a related matter: I'm offended when people fuck with me, and/or those whom I love and care for.

I'm offended by Racism, sexism, homophobia and attacks on free speech. I'm also offended at being called a racist, sexist or homophobe, because I find all those things offensive myself. I think calling someone a racist is designed to offend them, also it's normally said by people who are offended by virtually everything.


I guess I'm not offended by pretty much everything else. I'm not really a very easy person to offend.

That would make me the most offensive person here, lol.

It doesn't offend me but one of my pet peeves are certainly people who have a problem having mistakes pointed out. If it's petty and not a big deal then no need to let it bother you

I much prefer pedantic people over people who care about mistakes being pointed out when learning one's mistakes however small is a good thing. Hehe. Doesn't offend me though. It's just annoying when people whine when I correct them. It feels egotistical. If it's not a big deal then so what if you made a mistake, ya know?

Lol obviously we disagree there but I'm also in the minority. Happy to be in the minority. I think it's humble to be pedantic, lol.

You need a comma after but and a peroid after 'bother you'. obviously should be capitalized and 'Happy to be in the minority.' snd 'Doesn't offend me.' are incomplete sentences because they lack an object.

Happy to help.

Cheers dude! I wish you corrected me more often! There's kudos in it for ya! Normally I think some of your posts are talking bollocks but if you correct actual mistakes then you're RIGHT. Yay for non-wrongness.

I didn't kudos your post this time because when talking about how calling people racist offends you you didn't specify that that only applies to non-racists being called racists. Actual racists should be called out as a racist as much as possible.

Also, allow me to return the favor:

You need a comma after but 'but' and a peroid period after 'bother you'. obviously 'Obviously' obviously should be capitalized and 'Happy to be in the minority.' snd and 'Doesn't offend me.' are incomplete sentences because they lack an object.

Fixed.

(You're actually wrong though... "obviously" shouldn't be capitalized because that sentence started with "Lol"

Also.... the incomplete sentences were intentional and for punchy effect or whatever. You know, being informal, talking like George Carlin does sometimes Incomplete sentences are fine when we're being informal sometimes.)

Funny, I've never viewed you as a pedant, Alasdair. I see pedants as miserable dullards and I don't see you that way.
Or maybe I don't know you well enough.

You've never debated me and seen me turn into a robot lol.

Well it wasn't clear whether or not you were making 'lol' an independent thought or not, since previously you had separated it from the rest of your sentence with a comma and that time you did not. Comma use has a little wiggle room in English but needs to be consistent throughout someone's writing to be used correctly. So if you are going to make 'lol' an independent thought once, it should be kept that way. So in that case obviously can remain lower case but should be separated from 'lol' with a comma since you separated it once with a comma. Like your incomplete sentences, I didn't capitalize obviously intentionally because it was referring to a specific word and thus was kept in the original state. When referencing someone else, you should always keep the original spelling, punctuation and capitalization, although possibly I should have marked it with (sic) in order to be clear. Intentional grammar errors, like incomplete sentences, are of course still grammar errors. When someone uses internet slang and spelling, they are doing so intentionally. Lastly, even if you enjoy being corrected (I'm skeptical) most people find it annoying and condescending. It's also used, like pointing out logical fallacies, to avoid addressing peoples points.

Also you didn't read my post very well, since I didn't say I was offended by people in general being called racist. I said I was offended by being called a racist personally (I'm not one) as it's a very offensive thing to call someone. I'd assume you probably don't like being called a racist either. I don't have any problem with calling someone who is racist a racist. Racists generally don't mind being called racist though. I mean if you call a KKK member a racist, I don't think it's going to upset him very much. Me on the other hand, I'm greatly offended at being called a racist.

People who drizzle ketchup on top of their fries instead of having it on the side to dip. Fucking savages.

It offends me that the people who thought Mr. Clinton should be impeached for a getting a blowjob now support a sexual predator. 

It offends me that those who say Clinton should have been impeached for lying now support someone who lies most of the time. 

It offends me that victims of economic inequality are now supporting the perpetrators of economic inequality.

It offends me that people who claim to be pro-life support a man who wants to give nukes to the Arabs.

I'm offended by the quality of pizza made outside the New York City metropolitan area.

Add the fact that evangelicals support him despite his lose views of relationships and the fact he's barely religious couple that with the fact the church he does go to is borderline heretical

[Highanddry]

Religion offends me, and I mean offends me. The brass balls of the religious offends me everyday, the absolute shite that they spout everyday really gets on my manboobs.

What the hell are these absolute idiots thinking.

I am not a liberal lefty when it comes to religion, I say fuck off to all the stupid turds that follow one version or another of it.

It should not be tolerated in this day and age, and should be consigned to history.

Stick your nativity as far as you can get it up your arses.

I would watch what I say if I were you. You will have to answer to all your evil ways someday. The demon lurks within.
