The "Shut Your Black Pie Hole!!" Offensive


Houston, or rather, Dallas, we have a serious frigging problem!

From the Dallas News online:

Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections "has become a black hole" because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.

Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud "Excuse me!" He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a "white hole."

That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.

Racially insensitive analogy?!!

WTF?!!

What's next on their list?

BLACK bears?

BLACK coffee???

BLACK eyes???????

Uh, no offense, but between you and me, I think both of those BLACK guys are just race-baiting assholes.

Hey, don't give me that look, someone had to say it! Now please excuse me while I go have a few shots of Jack Daniels BLACK and play some more BLACK Jack.

Woot!!

The "Get Over It!!" Offensive

Here is some food for thought for you, taken from NewsByUs:

The biggest problem with political correctness is its net effect on society. People don’t talk to each other anymore because someone told them that they have a right to not be offended, ever, over anything, even if offending them is the right thing to do.

We’re not supposed to use terms like “winner” anymore, because “losers” find the term offensive. We’re not supposed to talk about such antiquated terms as “right” or “wrong” because in a politically correct open society, there is no such thing, and to suggest that there is might offend someone, namely the wrong.

Well.... as you may or may not know, this whole "Fear of Offending" plague is exactly why I started this blog to begin with! So, I thought I would take a moment to dedicate the following song to anyone who might subscribe to that politically correct bullshit up there.

Enjoy:

"Get Over It" by The Eagles

I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me"
They point their crooked little
fingers at everybody else
Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat

Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it

You say you haven't been the same since
you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight
You don't want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing

Get over it
Get over it
If you don't want to play, then you might as well split
Get over it, Get over it

It's like going to confession
every time I hear you speak
You're makin' the most of your losin' streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak

You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down
Complain about the present and blame it on the past
I'd like to find your inner child
and kick its little ass

Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it




Get over it
Get over it
It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit
Get over it, get over it

The "Your Jewish Master Revisited" Offensive

So my very favorite #1 fan wrote me an email earlier and asked me to send him pictures of myself in my camo bikini (they are on the way, *wink wink*) and also if I could please point him to my very first post.

I was so flattered but then I remembered why I took my whole "Offensive Archive" down!!

You see, The Offended Blogger started out not as a humor blog, but as a political and social commentary blog.

That's right!!

Believe it or not, I wasn't always this funny. ;)

Actually, my original goal with this blog was simply to point out just how offended and offensive our little planet was. I would scour the online newspapers daily looking for 'offenses' from all over the world, and sometimes I would find so many it made my eyes bleed!

On a good (or rather, bad) day, I would blog upwards of 20 or more bits of news articles about someone offending someone else, or someone being offended by someone else, or someone finding something offensive or.. ugh!

Exactly.

Ugh. It added up quickly, (especially the ones from right here in the good ol' US of A!) and I have probably 500+ of those types of articles in my archives but it was rather depressing after a while to see how offended and offensive the whole world was!

Then, one day I came across the story of Joey, the Cheesecake Impresario and defender of free speech and I decided instead of pointing out all of the world's offenses, I would exercise my own free speech and use my blog for a very different purpose, to bring humor to this sad, easily offended world.

So, I started making up my own offensives and started another blog, The Offended American, where I blog the way I used to here, (only not nearly as frequently and only just about America's offenses).

Of course, if you'd like, I can add my archives so you can see all the boring news offensives I posted early on, but I'll never forget my first entirely original "Offensive" that I wrote, and I thought I would share it with you, in case you haven't had the pleasure of seeing it.

Enjoy and please, don't be offended hehe!!


Hmmm... no offense, but I just can't help but wonder.. after he *ahem wink wink* "accidentally" posted his double man-crush about my guy Joey, just what sort of guy is this Your Jewish Master anyhow?

But of course thanks to Politically Correct brainwashing, I immediately stopped myself and thought whoaaa, wayyy too neo-naziish of me to even question this nice man and his unusual nickname.

I was practically goose-stepping my way into trouble with the thought police!!

I mean, is THIS what I've become??

Once I got past that ugly thought, I suddenly realized that hey, dammit, just like my man Joey, I am an English speaking American and I have rights too.

Why

can't

I

wonder??

I mean technically, he put the thought in my brain to begin with, with his nickname.

So, I started to really wonder.... can I obtain my very own Jewish Master, or is there a special law that I am unaware of??

Do I have to convert to qualify?

Is there a special place to just go buy one, and can I order him online??

Can I request that he come with special 'accessories'??

Even if I'm not a neo-nazi am I going to be in trouble for even asking this outloud?

OK so after checking with the ADL and the ACLU and learning it was still legal to ponder these things... I explored the possibilities:


Sooo...what would My Personal Jewish Master be like if I actually had one??

What an odd, yet taboo and totally tantalizing thought!!

Now, in designing MY ideal Jewish Master I had to be honest with myself and admit that I am very picky about who I allow to lord over me on any level (and I am a bit shallow too), so I had to start with his looks of course.
I mean, he didn't just *poof* appear out from under a rock, so I had to start with the early years first, his pre-Masterhood childhood.

Not like the ass-grabbing kid from The Wedding Singer, either:

I mean, MY Jewish Master would have had to have started out as what I would imagine the way freaking cool bar mitzvah kid would be like, ya know, the one the girls all stuffed their bras for and dreamed of secretly sneaking out at night for.

Yeah, something like this one:


OH. YEAH. BABY.

(Okay it's hard to see him, but you can really project a lot onto that picture...)

Now I could see this kid growing up to be not only a Jewish Master but maybe even My Jewish Master!!

He's has soooo got it goin on....hooyah!

Honestly, I had to slap myself with a cold dish rag at this point because I stared way too long at that kid and I am way too old for those sorts of thoughts (stuffing bras and sneaking out) now...I had regroup and refocus on the man he would become.

Gosh. How embarrassing!!

But, then as I was drug back into reality, by me, I was sickened by the sudden and quite scary thought that sometimes those cool kids that the girls stuff their bras and sneak out at night for grow up and turn into total geeks!

Holy crap!!

So was this the case with little grooving his ass off at his bar mitzvah without a care in the world Future Jewish Master WANNABE??

Did it end before it could ever really begin?

Could he possibly have ended up like...well, like this:


Oh, good god please say no.

Now you tell me, isn't ^^ that ^^ monstrosity far worse than any imagined grown up version of the ass-grabbing bar mitzvah kid on The Wedding Singer???

I mean there is NO FREAKING WAY IN HELL this guy could possibly expect me or anyone else for that matter to take him seriously as Our Jewish Master.

I mean isn't he the voice of Mandark on Dexter's Lab???

What was he, or I, even thinking??

Honestly!!

So, back to the 'ol drawing board.... just WHO could it be, if I had to just take a stab at any old Jewish guy (well not STAB an OLD Jewish guy, but ya know what I mean..) that I could think of off the top of my head??

Then it hit me!!

Yes, Adam Sandler!!

He didn't start off so well, did you ever see him as Theo's buddy on the Cosby Show? Not hot.

But just look at him there all growed up. That is a good picture of him and I do love his Hanukkah song. Oh yeah definitely a cool, funny, good looking, I AM THE MASTER OF MY DOMAIN look about that one.

I could definitely see that situation being viable.

But...dangit, what was I thinking? I mean, in reality he is far too busy and famous to be MY Jewish Master. Scratch another one off the list. *sigh*

Plus, since the only prototype I have to go by for the personality is THE Your Jewish Master and I know that he is a true politically conservative type, I am not so sure Hollywood is where I should be fishing, ya know? So now I am kinda picturing a more, well, rabbinical Master maybe. The UNHOLLYWOOD type.

Yeah, he definitely needs to be more Orthodox looking now. Not Old World Pharisee Orthodox, but maybe someone like this guy:


Now THAT my friend, looks like he could be THE Jewish Master of ALL Jewish Masters, doesn't he not?? I mean he just screams I AM YOUR MASTER!!!

Then again, uhhh maybe he is too loud about it, in fact, the more I look at him, the more I realize that he scares me!

Forget that.

He'd be the one who kept me chained all day naked to the radiator while he surfed porn sites and gambled our money away while at the same time totally keeping up appearances at the synagogue.

UH, NO THANKS FREAKY RABBI GUY!!

Nope, for me to allow a Master/Minion relationship to develop long term, My Jewish Master would definitely need to earn my respect and he would have to be a cooler and a more subdued shade of pious that that freaking loser.

That and a far less in-your-face with his I'm Your Jewish Master bitch, so do what I say when I say it or I will kill you and they'll never suspect it was me look!

Okayyyy....so maybe I could dig someone like this one??

Now that is one very cool and really VERY good looking potential Jewish Master. I am totally down with that whole package. He is quite fashionable, and projects a nice mixture of piousness balanced just right with a mysterious, even a Joey like mafioso aura.

Ooh la la.

I could definitely put him on the top of my list.

The whole package. I bet he makes a mean cheesesteak too. (Wait, is cheesesteak even Kosher??)

Yet... maybe I want someone even more bad ass looking and a bit more edgy!! You know, maybe a Jewish Master named Troy! Like the real YJM and his friend, Troy the Token Goy!!

I could be Troy's token Goy.

Hooyah!

Oooh... I shudder just thinking of him.... yet at the same time....

Yes, bad guys are attractive, really... hmmmm.....

No, no, no...I am going in the totally wrong direction here. I might as well go back to the first Master Rabbi Charles Manson before this one and be done with it!

Ugh.

Maybe my ideal guy is even bordering on an equally but *safe* sort of attractive and edgy look like Mr. I'm Your Jewish Godfather ones up there that I found so appealing.

Not what you'd call hot like Brad Pitt hot, but he projects that he is a Jewish Brad Pitt using a Jewish Master Jedi-ish optical illusion skill.

No rabbi hat, no menorah...he hangs in NYC at the hottest, most exclusive spots and never waits in line. He gets all the chicks and you can't quite figure out why because he really isn't hot at all.

Someone who is totally unlike what you'd expect.

Maybe someone like...

?????

Yeah?

A possible "Maybe"??

I mean, isn't he many, many people's Jewish Master already?? Why can't he be mine?

Give me one good reason, I dare you!!

Well...I can give myself one, if has to be someone like Howard Stern, I am not all that thrilled...no, he couldn't be My Jewish Master...that would be akin to Alan Colmes being My Jewish Master and they are both far too liberal and let's face it, they are just not the most attractive men no matter what they wear or where they hang.

There are wayyy too many good looking Jewish guys out there who would make better Masters than Howard, or this guy:


Blech!

The only one worse than those two that I can think of is Alan Greenspan, and not enough money in the WORLD could help me get past his fugly, or his unforgiveable history of fiscal policies.

Nope, I need someone who is good looking, a well-read real conservative, who would be comfortable at both a bar mitzvah and at a trendy pub sipping a fine liquor afterwards.

Someone who has a sense of humor, has a strong political view, and someone who likes movies and isn't afraid to speak the truth about his agenda.

Money wouldn't hurt either, if he didn't look like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons like Greenie up there!

Hey, maybe it's not about the look after all!

Maybe I could honestly go for someone like...

Yes!

Ben Stein could easily fit the bill!!! He is richer than the central banks, pretty cool really and is not only well read but is very politically conservative.

Well, I have to admit it, he really could be THE ONE! I could totally go for him, well, except for that ungodly monotone voice.

UGH!!!

All I can hear now is:


Bueller...










Bueller...










Bueller..



ARRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!

My ears are bleeding already.

Sorry Ben...you were almost it buddy!!

I give up.

Hey, wait a minute.... maybe all hope is not lost!

That name... Ben... Benjamin... it reminds me of ANOTHER Jewish Ben whose voice and overall look I have always secretly admired and had a silly stuff-your-bra and sneak-out -at-night kinda schoolgirl crush on.

Why didn't I think of HIM first??

He is not only 110% Jewish, but he has a VERY strong political background, definitely not too pious or scary (well he is a good kind of scary I guess!), someone I could admire even if I see him cutting loose at the bar now and then...and I THINK he is a conservative.

Hell I don't know, I couldn't tell you what he's said in any of the interviews I've seen of him, I can't get past that voice...it just epitomizes a TRUE JEWISH MASTER.

I literally melt when I hear it.

Yep, he's a keeper...the one and only Jewish man who could be....


***My*** IDEAL Jewish Master!!

(Benjamin Netanyahu, ROWR!! :)

The "My "Eco-Solution" to a Global Problem" Offensive

So, hey, no offense if you are one, but I am really, really, really getting sick of all these self-proclaimed "eco-friendly" assholes who live in the city and show up here in herds every year playing "eco-tourist".

You know the type I am talking about, they are frigging everywhere you look nowadays:

Ugh.

I hate them!

They just think they are better than me because they eat dandelion and deer scat stew and drive those little "smart cars" and leave a smaller carbon footprint than I do.

Bastards.

I always get dirty looks from those "eco-driver" types who come up here to MY little piece of paradise and act like I have no right to throw plastic bottles out of MY 4-mile-to-the-gallon, polar-bear-killing, ice-berg-melting, not-smart monster truck window while I fly past them:


Please.

Do they really think it makes them better than me because their car says "eco car" on it and my monster truck says "FECK OFF AND GO BACK TO THE CITY TO DIE YOU ECO-TOURIST BASTARDS!!" on the side of it?!

You tell me, what the hell is wrong with me throwing my recyclables out on the highway, anyway?! It is very humanitarian, in my opinion.

I mean, if it wasn't for my roadside littering, what else would the murderers, rapists and crack heads be doing on the weekend?

That's right, they'd be murdering, raping and smoking crack with each other behind bars. Don't these "eco-friendly" types ever think about anyone but themselves?!

No, they don't.

Which is precisely why I really want to run those "eco-biker" ones over every time I see them hogging the road:


I always want to yell out at them, "Hey, your ass will REALLY hurt when an 'eco-friendly' cougar decides to play the food-chain game with you!! Oooh... I hope I have my 'eco-friendly' camera ready when that happens!!"

Bwahahaha!

Ugh, I really hate them.

Oh, and when I am out 4-wheeling, I am always tempted to run down those annoying "hey nice local lady, look out for us, we're 'eco-hikers'!", too:

Argh!!

Look how happy they are, convinced of their "eco-superiority".

I always want to yell at them, "Hey, the grizzly bears actually prefer to eat happy people with 'eco-friendly' Walmart shoes and backpacks!! Hope you brought some 'eco-friendly' bear spray with ya!!"

Heh.

Bear spray.

What a huge scam.

Much like this whole "eco-friendly" bullshit they are all falling for!!

To be honest, I have only met one truly "eco-friendly" person in my whole life:


That's Ed.

I know, he is so frigging "eco-cool"!!

He used to be one of those "eco-tourists" but now he lives out here in the forest and he taught me a lot of things.

Like how to make my own dandelion and deer scat stew.

Yummm!!

Oh, and he also taught me how to build my own "eco-tree stand" for hunting "eco-driver", "eco-biker", and "eco-hiker" with my hand made "eco-bow and arrows"!!

That's right, so don't you worry, pretty soon me and Ed will single-handedly keep the entire global population of "eco-snobs" in check.

Because between you and me, eventually they all make their way over here to Yellowstone Park.

That's right, and we'll be ready for them.

Hooyah!!

The "Sticky-Note Life Lessons" Offensive

I’m never leaving my house ever again…



Today I realized, with great horror and with deep regret, that I have no choice but to self-exile to the confines of my abode for the duration of my time on this earth. As my sticky-note says, I really do suck.





What would cause me to feel this way and take such drastic actions, you ask?


Well, I am embarrassed to admit it, but the answer is simple. I am just way too offensive to be out in the general population!!!

I know what you are thinking...."Chelle B., you should know better!!"

Hey, you don't have to lecture me...I agree!!

Of all people, I should be on my best, most non-offensive behavior at all times - after all, I am The Offended Blogger.

Please don’t get me wrong, it isn’t that I try to be offensive or go out of my way to offend…not at all!


I am in no way like this guy:




Or her



Or even these people:






No, I am not like any of them. I am just one of those who sincerely and unknowingly offends and it is only in hindsight that I realize that I’ve even committed the offense!

Of course, by then, it’s too late. The damage is done, and there is no going back….you can never really take back even an unintended offense, no matter what you do.


For example, here are just a couple of examples of the destruction I’ve already inflicted on my fellow man just this morning.


I hope someone out there will sympathize with me and see that I am really a harmless victim of my own ignorance….

***WARNING ~ it gets ugly after this point and I assure you, this is purely satirical and a social commentary on REAL offensive people in the world. It in no way reflects the real Chelle B. I am a nice person, I promise! ***


.....It all started when I needed a haircut, so I headed down to the trendiest place in town:





The girl behind the counter was pleasant enough, and I thought that I restrained my potentially offensive self quite well when I purposefully avoided staring at the fact that she had no arms.


I mean, everyone stares at her for it, I’m sure…but I take pride in the fact that I honestly do my best to not be like every other offensive asshole out there.


I even complimented the gigantic bloody dagger tattoo on her right tit in an attempt to make her feel somewhat normal like my two-armed self!!


Everything was going fine until she said:




Ugh, if only I could invent a time machine and take back my response!!


Me ~“Chad?? OK, that sounds good….oh, wait, is Chad gay??"


Her ~ "Umm...yeah, actually he is. He is a great hairdresser. He does MY hair."


Me again ~ "Well, I know gay guys are supposedly good at hair...but honestly, your hair sucks and anyways he probably has the "gay guy cooties"…I mean, ewww...does he even wash those nasty fingernails?? CAN'T I PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE BESIDES CHAD??!!

Her ~ "OK bitch, if I had arms I'd punch you right now."

OK...I know what you are thinking here...at first I, too, thought she was a little overreactive, she had to know her hair looked atrocious and I guess my somewhat-sincere tit tattoo compliment didn't go far enough....but here's where hindsight comes in... at the time it seemed harmless enough to speak my mind, I was just being honest...but looking back now, I admit that I must have said it a little too loudly, because everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to glare at me!



Can you imagine how humiliated I was when I realized why??



I honestly didn’t mean to offend them with my loud, outdoor-voice, I mean I didn’t realize that those ‘shhhh!! You are in the library, use your indoor-voice!!’ sort of rules apply at Super Cuts!!


Did you know this was an unwritten rule there??


Needless to say, for that minor infraction, I didn’t get a haircut but I did learn a valueable lesson:



And, lucky for me, the doctor said that the 27 scissor wounds that nasty Chad inflicted on me should actually heal quickly and I was very lucky none of them severed an artery!


After that bit of good news, I told myself that the scars should definitely be a reminder to me to use my non-offensive indoor voice at Super Cuts next time in case I lose my sticky-note pad!


Of course, before I ever saw the doctor I commited my second offense without even realizing it...


*sigh*


I happened to notice a very pregnant lady come in and sit near me, looking quite unhappy and uncomfortable.


Being the nice person that I am, I can’t take it when people are in discomfort...



Her misery was obvious through that fake smile, so naturally, I struck up a conversation with her. Everything was pleasant there at first, just like with the armless slut at Super Cuts.


Ugh! Then I just had to open my mouth and insert my foot this time.



Me ~ “Hey...good luck with your baby! Although, I do hope at least your husband is hot and the baby looks like the father…I mean, if you were lucky enough to even find some poor bastard to marry you... and if your husband is the father, that is...."

(In my defense here, I said this in my best, most quietest library indoor-voice…I mean, I am not a complete moron, my sticky-note lesson from the Super Cuts offense was still fresh in my memory!)

Her ~ "....."


(no words at first...just a blank stare while she computed what I had just said. Between you and me, I think she was a just a little on the "I wore a helmet and rode the short bus to school" side *wink wink*, but I would never have mentioned it, of course! I am far to nice for that!!)


She wasn't silent for long though....just imagine how completely embarrassed I was when she stood up and screamed at the top of her lungs at me that I was, and I quote, the "rudest bitch she had ever met" and topped it off with "I AM NOT EVEN PREGNANT!"


Now, whoa right there.


Though it may be true, no one but my immediate family is allowed to call me a bitch and get away with it! Yet, I instantly forgave her outburst, after all, it was my mistake for thinking she was pregnant...I can understand how my assumption offended her!


Despite my attempts, she wouldn't take an apology from me as they drug her off in a straight jacket screaming obscenities at me so I just had to chalk it up to another lesson for the day.




Funny thing is...now that I think back on it, I could have sworn I saw this when I looked at her stomach:



I guess it was just something she ate??


Anyhoo...as you can see, it was not a good day, and it only got worse from there.


On my way home I was so distraught over my innocent yet brutally offensive mistakes and the resulting sticky-note life lessons, that I accidentally stepped on this guy and broke his yellow begging bucket:






I honestly did not see him down there on the filthy ground and I hope the wasn’t too offended when I yelled back at him, "piss off you unemployed freak!" as he crawled into traffic and cried out to me to help him pick up his pennies and nickles that spilled out into the busy street…


I'm sure if he had a life, better use of his limbs, a computer and could read this right now, he'd understand that I was just so upset over nasty Chad and the (NOT) pregnant psycho angry lady that I wasn‘t thinking straight.


Anyhoo…so as you can see, I am just not fit for society, so I am self-exiling.


I will just have to become one of those weird hermits you read about who has food drop-shipped to them or something….at least until I can get a grip on this problem of mine. I guess admitting I have a problem is the first step, right??


But hey, I'll still have you guys to keep me company, so thanks for reading this!

I feel much better knowing that all of you semi-literate, no-life dumbasses are out there and that you care so much about me and my 'your-problems-are-pathetic-compared-to-mine' issues!!!


You rock. :)


Chelle B.



PS. Heh...I probably shouldn't even mention this, I am almost out of sticky-notes and I don't know if they will drop-ship me some more....but um, one of you REALLY needs a shower…ugh, I can smell you through the screen!!!!!


Oh, hehe, nevermind...it's me!

The "I'm Offended Too!" Offensive

I've Been Thinking...



Ever since I posted about the "Drunken Sioux" mascot for the UND, I've actually had an epiphany of sorts.




I am here to say that I have grown to understand and sympathize with the Native Americans who are so deeply offended and educationally afflicted by the degrading and racist logos & mascots defacing various educational campuses across our nation.

I am not Native American, at least not that I am aware of, my one grandmother was quite the player hehe...but their plight has opened my eyes up to the blatant attacks against MY people that are being launched daily on just as many, if not more, campuses across this great nation.

I am in the process of forming a Coalition of Angry Caucasians, if you are interested in joining. Together we can put an end to these injustices and hopefully get great exposure for our blogs on CNN, MSNBC and FOX NEWS to boot!

(There will be steep membership fees involved, I can assure you, but believe me, they will be put to good use in defending our people and paying off my credit cards!)

I'm compiling a list of offenders now, but to show you and the world just how insensitive, bigoted and degrading these offenses are, the following is a small sampling of the infractions that I have already found. It took me all of about 3 minutes on Google!!


***warning ~ not for the children!!***


May God have mercy on their souls when my team of lawyers are through with these bastards....



(Actually this one ^^ isn't too bad ~ it has a way freaking cool design!!)







And last but not least, the biggest offender of all...I need not even MENTION their name:













(There will be a PayPal button in my sidebar soon for future members! ;)

The "Six Levels of PC Hell" Offensive

I've devised a system to catagorize the PC'ers:




I got the idea from this article on "The 5 levels of Political Awareness"...



..... How many times have you tried to have an intelligent political conversation with a friend, fellow worker or family member only to discover that two of you are talking on completely different levels?

What starts off as a well intended interaction quickly devolves into a struggle to avoid insult or seriously offend. As a way to calculate where you and yours stand, the following are general definitions for the five levels of political awareness.

The "Holy Mother Load of Offenses" Offensive



My head is spinning, there were NO LESS THAN SIXTY (Yes ~ 60!) variations of the word offend in this one article!!

Ha ha leave it to a website called "Virtue Online" to provide me with The Holy Mother Load of all Offenses!

..... Christians must not only contend for the preservation and protection of free speech -- essential for the cause of the Gospel -- we must also make certain that we do not fall into the trap of claiming offendedness for ourselves. We must not claim a right not to be offended, even as we must insist that there is no such right and that the social construction of such a right will mean the death of individual liberty, free speech, and the free exchange of ideas.




Once we begin playing the game of offendedness, there is no end to the matter. There simply is no right not to be offended, and we should be offended by the very notion that such a right could exist.

I think I need to go lie down now and put a cold rag on my forehead...maybe say
a prayer for this writer....
