Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5
I find when I am getting offended I turn off the TV or change the channel. That really helps. I rarely get offended out in the real world, but the few times it has happened I shrug my shoulders and walk away.
Our weak justice system. They somehow lost the justice somewhere along the way...that is what offends me today...it offended me yesterday; and most likely will again tomorrow and thereafter until some drastic changes are made!
I'd place the comma after "Good morning" and before "America"; and delete it after "by". After all, it is a salutation.
I get seriously offended by the stupidity of the younger generation on college campuses. These yahoos are our future leaders, and imagine the reality check they'll get if they tried to pull 1/100 of this garbage in the real world and not in the plastic bubble world.
I think the majority of human beings tend to walk away from things that offend us, don't we? Otherwise there would be a whole world of people arguing, quarrelling, fighting.
Definitely easier to choose not to deal with it-... Everything is offensive to some one- But I hate getting no eye-contact from peoplre you are interacting with.
Seriously!! I was watching NBC Today Show and heard about people getting offended by the new polo bear cookies at Starbucks, apparently the scarf around the bears neck looks like blood!
I'm so over all of the drama that people unnecessarily create via social media!
Not needed.

ReplyDeleteIs that Jackie Gleason?
ReplyDeleteI like the comma. The Offended Ones are offended at least once a day.
ReplyDeleteI would leave it out - and walk away from the offended and the offensive.

I'd be more offended by some of the guests! ;)

ReplyDeleteThere are a few things I can't overlook, but I guess I won't share them here. :) Not sure about that comma - seems as if it should come out.
ReplyDeleteI'm not easily offended, but I'm offended by this post ;)

I am not currently offended, but the day is not over yet.

I love it how people started hating on Starbucks cups because they were red. The fuck?
