Offensive...

Ok so i was flicking through the forums today and stumbled across the following

http://www.gamingforce.org/forums/qu...oull-like.html

"being a complete dick to a girl. Saying all these vulgar things, offending everyone around him with what he's saying...everyone around is usually offended"

and a question to the masses bubbled up from within:

Does anyone else think they're missing out on the 'offended' bandwagon?

I have never felt offended by something, sure some things are tastless and maybe a bit sick but i've never felt the kind of shunted offence that loads of people express when they hear a swear word.. or a dead baby joke..

i even went to the trouble to look up a definition,which is as follows:

1. a breaking of a law or rule; crime
2. annoyance or anger
3. a cause of annoyance or anger
4. give offence to cause to feel upset or angry
5. take offence to feel hurt or offended

obviously 1 is a legal term but the others are just getting annoyed..
i've been annoyed by something! my girlfriends 7 year old brother can be annoying but bless him he's never offended me! i've never taken the time to write to the daily express about being annoyed.. who does that?!?

so even if you cant answer my initial question, here's a backup:

Can you describe what being offened is like?

If it's so similar to being annoyed maybe i have been offended?

or maybe it's just a scapecoat to how we actually arnt that bothered by much these days?

hmmmm....

this is my first thread by the way... anyone know how i can start a chocojournal?? it wont let me!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

heh, force of habit from myspace.. cheers man

Additional Spam:

There's nowhere I can't reach.

but back to the original question! what does being offended feel like???

How ya doing, buddy?
