Offendedness is just about the last shared moral currency in our country. And, I'm sorry, but it's really annoying. We don't discuss ideas or debate arguments, we try to figure out who is most offended.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm always flattered when people on the far Left manufacture a new version of being 'offended.' They can be quite creative in finding something that hurts their feelings.
I have never been offended. I don't know what it means. It's not that I disagree with it. I don't understand it. I've never had that feeling. I don't let feelings control my life. I'm more disciplined than other people.
Good grief, we're getting offended by everything these days! People can't say anything without offending somebody.
When was the last time you were super offended? I might be like, 'That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!' Or, 'It's not my thing,' or, 'It was a stupid joke.' But there's such a sensitivity now. Political correctness has become really insidious.
I am continually fascinated at the difficulty intelligent people have in distinguishing what is controversial from what is merely offensive.
I apologize if anybody was offended by anything I said.
I try to be outraged by things that other people are just very accepting of, as though they're normal and can't be changed. A lot of what I write about is, 'Hey, you know, this stuff is really awful, and it doesn't need to be, and that's why it's so offensive.' Things should be better.
If you're offended, it's your problem.
I apologize profusely to those I have offended deeply a million times over.
To be offended is a choice we make; it is not a condition inflicted or imposed upon us by someone or something else.
