yo yo...i hate people that "get offended" by things, i really truly do. For instance, all the hubbub you see about people being offended about merry christmas signs or other religious favoritism. More often than not, people are not actually offended, they just see it as a way to feel important. they're thinking that if they can argue somehow that its affecting someone, and get it changed, they'll feel important. i mean, a sign hung up at a business that says "fuck jews" or "screw christ" ok, that would be offesnive, but it also goes with things like public breast feeding, does it really OFFEND you? it might be weird, sure, but does it actually OFFEND you??

**edit**(based on nici's comment)
example, lets say one was making diarrhea into another one's face...that is offensive...if you saw that you wouldnt say "ahem, that is offensive, i might tell ur manager" or wat have u, they would run away, so if a situation doesnt cause u to run away, choose to, or shut up
