| I don't like this thread. Why are you accusing me of being easily offended?!?! |

I believe in the

Due Process
| As I have reminded the forum several times, I’ve always preferred the Dollie Parton approach to being offended. When asked if she was offended by dumb blonde jokes, she said, “No, because I’m not dumb, and I’m not blonde.”
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown |

| Although it is possible to offend me, it usually takes some work and a focus on a small array of topics to which I'm more sensitive (I won't list them). I think my resistance is due to not really caring much what others think. flashguy

| I think a lot of it has to do with your self esteem.
If you have low self esteem, you're going to get offended a lot.
Most of the people that I know, don't really care what other people think of them so they don't get offended easily. |

Do you get offended?
I don't because I simply don't care about a great many of the things so many of these nitwits complain about. If you want to watch their heads explode, just utter the phrase "I don't care" a couple times to one of these morons frothing at the mouth over something.

| Almost impossible. A lot of time in locker rooms and barracks will tend to remove your ability to be offended.
