Who are the easily offended ones?
Posted on September 17, 2006
Ray Kraft has a good answer to that:
“It is axiomatic that those with the least to be honestly proud and confident of are the often quickest to take offense at any real or imaginary slight. Those of real achievement tend to ignore their detractors, knowing that criticisms, if true, should be heeded, and, if untrue, are merely displays of ignorance, jealousy, or the hatred that grows from the slacker’s internal morass of envy and self-loathing.
Those of little achievement, or none, are the people most sensitive to being “dissed.” The greatest underachievers are the most easily offended, precisely because every criticism, especially if true, threatens to penetrate and evaporate their tenuous, false, and exaggerated illusion of self-importance, the illusion by which they justify themselves. They are ostentatiously proud, because there is nothing to them but their ostentatious pride.

There’s a lot of truth to that.
Don’t tell them though… it’ll only piss ‘em off more. j/k
My problem is those that are offended by words and not by actions. Take the Democrat party which is fast to cry racist and yet support the policy of legalized abortion that kills Blacks at 3times and Hispanics at 2 Times the race of Whites. I am kind of curious about how many Black doctors there are killing those children at their mother request. For myself all I can say is please call me a name rather than kill me.
