Do you get offended easily Login/Join

As a career infantryman...hell yes!

I am a very delicate flower and need to be constantly nourished. Wink j/k

My favorite tactic is to act like I don't have a clue when people try to offend me, thank them etc. It's funny to take away their power. I mean if they are using "mean" words and you don't GAF, and they are unwilling to make it physical ("bring it!"), then they don't have anything left...

I try to be nice to everyone whether they are nice to me or not, their behavior doesn't dictate mine. Their actions do, but words are just noise.

Nope. Sticks and stones...

Mother taught me that as a small boy. Works well for me still.

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.


This. ^^^^^^^^^^^^

I spent 25 years working in prisons after 8 years as an MP. If they ain't flinging feces, it really has no effect on me. If they are, I get a raincoat, mask and baton.

According to my mother, YES!

"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

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

I guess it depends on your definition of "offended".

I'm pretty thin-skinned on some subjects, but I'm just enough of a contrary prick that I work really hard at not letting it show.

Calling me names, casting aspersions on my ancestry or other juvenile attempts to get my goat are utterly ineffective. I know it's not true, I don't give a fuck what you think.




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

I'm offended by leftists. Particularly the stupid elected ones and their media castrati. Pretty much every time they open their pie holes.

It's probably easier than it should be. Guess that says something about my self esteem or lack thereof.

Born and raised in the Bronx. Nothing really offends me. LOL unless you ask me if I am from Brooklyn.

Yeah, the older I get, the less offended I get over things. Having said that, it is pretty rare for me to care what other people think of me.
