I throw their PC nonsense right back at themand put the onus in their lap.
Conservative: “If it offends you too much to discuss this we don’t have to. We’re not the ones seeking changes that would require we discuss it.”
I have been offended by people that feel offended since 1974.
Buck up mister!
I’m offended by this thread. Mods, shut it down!
The offensenicks pervert a principle that is Christian enough, which is that one should endeavor not to wreck the spiritual growth of a brother or sister by reining in their use of Christian freedoms where appropriate. However when the people involved steadfastly resist redemption, or insist that “society” furnish “their kind” of redemption (e.g. “gay marriage” in the name of “equality”) — it is an abuse and a spiritual train wreck.
I like to tell them that I find whatever leftard drivel they have babbled to be “very offensive.”
That's just because you are a racist. And a homophobe. And a xenophobe. And a hater. /libtard
The “I’m offended” card is played on both sides. The way to shut someone down that says they are offended is to let them know their being offended is not your concern, the issue at hand is not about their feelings. Then tell them to grow up.
Nothing is played more than the race card and nothing is more politically correct than the discussion about race.
It’s past time to stop that nonsense.
The left acting “offended” to sidestep an issue reminds me of Ann Coulter’s complaint of liberals relying on “womanly indignation” to sidestep an issue.
[[Has society really become quite thin-skinned, or is acting “offended” a new tactic that is being used to shut down legitimate political debate? Progressives are increasingly claiming to be offended whenever those on the right disagree with their left-wing positions.]]
Yes, the left uses it as a very effective tactic because htey know damn well the right will never stop them in their tracks by sayign somethign along htel ine of “Zip it- Grow some nuts nancy, and quitcherwhinin- you’r makign an ass of yourself and our forefathers and women woudl be ashamed of you for acting liek little kids- now pull yetr skirts up and at trhe very least pretend you’re an adult for 10 secodns so we can get thsi issue debated without all the drama queen crap- ok? Thanks!”
It was Lenin who first coined the phrase “political correctness”...
I’m not sure if anyone here will be offended...
but this reminds me of a science fiction story I’ve heard about by a certain David Brin (who apparently is a libertarian-type), where some guy comes from the future and is asked what future society is like. He responds:
In the future, there will only be two laws;
1. Thou shalt not offend others.
2. Thou shalt not allow thyself to be too easily offended.
If only that could be the case. It’s more like we’re their bizarro-world opposite... and by design.
I always tell them I’m offended every quarter when I ink those checks payable to the IRS. And when I look at the sales tax total on a register receipt, it offends me.
And when I see all the government deadheads driving around in shiny new vehicles, it offends me when I climb into my 02 Dodge PU withe 360K miles on it.
My favorite recent example was the kerfuffle about the recording of Mitch McConnell discussing Ashley Judd. David Korn was interviewed about this and claimed it was important and relevant because the tone was mocking and derisive.
Has anyone on the left ever listened to the MSM?????
The tone is mocking and derisive whenever they speak about a conservative. Tea Party. Sarah Palin. Any conservative person they disagree with. The venom spewed by the left regarding their targets makes anything McConnell said look tame.
So lefties, before you get your panties in a wad about “offensiveness” try checking the mirror.
I blame the useful dupes within the Democratic Party Trash proper for getting rid of the “like” buttons in the local newspapers...
...why we can’t allow citizens making truthful insightful comments getting favorable comments from others, why, that may empower them. But we’ll let the keep the ‘offended’ button and maybe they won’t notice.
Which indicates they are losing...
The Right has gotten very tired of being the only ones who's values are offended, and has decided it's time to call a spade a spade.
If 'gays' get 'offended' when I call them a FAG - too bad.
If 'undocumented immigrants' get 'offended' when they are called BORDER INVADERS - too bad.
If 'redistributionists' get 'offended' when their 'its for the chilrun' schemes get exposed and are correctly labeled THIEVES - again; too bad.
If 'progressives' get 'offended' when called SOCIALISTs; GOLLY!! too bad.
They can take their mealy-mouthed 'offense' and stick it where our schools are teaching our children it's all right to place things.
Just ignore the thin-skinned libs.
