It is my constitutional right to be offended by things I know nothing about in theory or practice

it is very common to hear people say"Im rather offended by that", as if that gives them certain rights.It is no more than a whine. It has no meaning, it has no purpose and it has no reason to be respected as a phrase.

"I'm offended by that"

Well so fucking what?

It is your constitution right to get offended but that don't mean you are automatically correct just because you are offended.

I'm of 2 minds about this.

First, some people love to be offended and will never be happy. I think it's best to pay little or no attention.

But second, I think that when people genuinely are offended by something, they're dismissed too quickly as being one of those people. We've come to a place somehow where we're not willing to consider that we might have actually offended someone, and that those feelings are valid. This facilitates a sort of collective insensitivity that I don't think does us any favours as a society at all.

On a personal level, I would really hate to think I had genuinely offended someone unless I set out to. I was raised to be nice to people, be kind to people, and not to hurt people's feelings. But sometimes I think as adults we don't value that anymore, which is sad.

Obviously there are exceptions. Obviously there are times when you want to piss someone off. But in general, I do think we've kind of lost that ideal.

Hope this makes sense
