Just sayin'. If you too want to experience the new hip and trendy emotion of feeling offended, just ask and I'll offend you.
(For example by not answering... can't answer every idiot.)

I'm already offended, by your willingness to be so offensive, to folks already offended, in a Nation hell-bent on being offended.

My willingness to offend offends you.
Allright. Enjoy your feeling.
Now how's the protocol? Do I apologize here? If so, how conscience-smitten? I'm thinking about giving out the whole experience... including the cuddling afterwards.

Someone is always going to be offended by something. That much is indisputable. Should our lives revolve around making sure we don't offend other people? Absolutely not. Should we at least try to imagine how other people might be affected by what we do or say? Probably. It's called empathy.

OK, thanks for explaining all that by using undisputable extremes, but do you wish to get offended now or not? Didn't quite catch that.

So now here's the place to regret and to apologize for one's own behaviour.
The I'm sorry-thread!
And I'm sorry for creating the "I'm sorry"-thread - which incidentally fits quite well into the "I'm sorry"-thread. I know there is no need for an "I'm sorry"-thread, and be it just because people would rather create their very own "I'm sorry"-thread. That's what they are about. But now I eben made two threads within the hour, so beat that!
No offence. Deeply sorry if it is considered one.

OK then. Why did you just make such a meaningless post before? I don't catch that. It really says: We should not do something unthinkable, but also do something every person with at least a bit affection does anyways. And then some "it's called empathy"-smartass ending. This post has no point whatsoever. Why post something without point?

"I'm sorry" that I clicked on this thread and read the OP. That's 20 seconds of my life that I'll never get back.

You're right. I'm sorry. If you could offer me the opportunity to do something for you which could save you these 20 seconds, just let me know. I'd probably decline the opportunity, but I'd still want to know.

I'm sorry that he is sorry, because he shouldn't be sorry.
Love... means never having to say you're sorry.

Yeah, well, love. Losing ground to feeling offended, on the popular feelings chart.
Sad world.
But love doesn't really apply here anyways. Only had three beers so far, so right now I just think you're nice.
And yeah, I stole that line from Friends.
So sorry.

I'm sorry that you have not had enough beer yet. That is truly the saddest thing I have heard all day.
