Elisabella -> How to overcome being easily offended (9/12/2010 4:22:26 PM)
So, there's this mosque being built, and it's offending a lot of people who find it insensitive. Since I can't imagine that being offended is a pleasant state to be in, I've gone and found some links to share: http://www.ehow.com/how_2078115_overcome-being-easily-offended.html http://socyberty.com/advice/being-offended-is-a-choice-to-be-a-victim/ I encourage everyone who is offended by the building of an Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero to find some inner strength, try to come to terms with it. The world doesn't care if your feelings are hurt and refusing to even attempt to move past hurt feelings into acceptance is only hurting yourself.

Or is it Islamic groups calling for violence if the center is not built. Or if Mohamed is drawn. Or Islam is mocked. Or kill filmakers OR issue death Sentances on authors? Is there an Arabic translation of your very imformative websites? Heck yesterday I had posts pulled because others were offended. Maybe a lot of folks could use your informative links.

Your taking offense to any of this does absolutely nothing to fix it. Consider getting involved/donating money to charities working to end human rights violations in the middle east.

Where do you see me being offended? What does the thousands of book burning Muslims in England (salaman Rushdie) or the murdered Dutch Filmmaker have to do with Human rights violations in the Mideast?

Jeffff -> RE: How to overcome being easily offended (9/12/2010 5:20:33 PM)
You were offended yesterday. The posts were pulled so I can't quote them. It was about the chances of being killed in a terrorist incident. Once again dog, disingenuous.

LOL, I saw this title and thought you were doing an intervention for the lefties!

Jeffff -> RE: How to overcome being easily offended (9/12/2010 6:09:21 PM)
HAHAHAHA.. ok... THAT was funny.

My mistake, I thought you were concerned with the middle east. What sort of solutions do you think you can get involved in to help these causes that mean so much to you?

More an more I am seeing people being easily offended, could this be down to a rise in pure intolerance. If it is intolerance, then it says lots about people who call themselves civilised.

It's "their way or the highway!"

I think it's more about selfishness than intolerance, I really have no problem with people who get offended easily, but I do have a problem with people who think that taking offense to something should mean that others pander to their delicate feelings. "I'm offended" should be a simple statement of fact, not a call to arms.

And the world doesnt give a flying fuck what Elisabella thinks about people who are offended by any number of things. Everyone is at one time or another, including you. Get off the pulpit before you fall off it and injure yourself.

For a bunch of macho manly men, conservatives sure spend a lot of time wailing about their fee fees being hurt.

Careful with that, you can be seven six three'd in a heartbeat!

Try to come to terms with it.... Hmmm... would you have said that to the abolitionists who felt it was wrong to own another human being?

I try to work through my feelings internally, and it really does help me move past hurt feelings into acceptance.
