Title says it all.


Um, hearing curse words actually offends me. Not because they are all 'icky', but I believe they are the mark of ignorance.

Nothing really.

*bleeping* *bleep* fricking *bleeps* me to no end!

Christians.


And trolls.

You are so fucking wrong it makes me want to use my fucking pedantic ferity to fucking crush your ego.

I am offended by assholes using a major tragedy to promote a political agenda.

er nothing offends me otherwise I wouldn't be on the internet...also I'm white and British I think your going to have a job cracking at that

I believe they are the mark of ignorance.

:D

You offend yourself then? :p

Particularly foul smells.

That was the joke embedded within the post. Hence the smiley. Bravo.;)

Children.

I really hate noisy children. They should be executed right a way.

Which way?

Not much really. People saying really nasty things about me, rather than to my face annoys me, and people seriously insulting my family members drives me insane, but I'm not offended that easily.

People who hate children offend me.
Which way?
So do Cubs fans.:D

Which way?

The execution should be very painful. The executed noisy children could serve as an example for the wannabes.

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

People who don't know me making assumptions about me and my life and thinking they have a right to comment and deride.

People who hate children offend me.
Seconded.

I'm annoyed by Yankees fans.

You promised you'd never tell! Bastard!

As a matter of fact, I also hate wet dogs. It's all in the smell.

Seconded.
I never got it. We all were a kid once. Why do you hate kids for being...kids?

All though I will say what is infinitally more annoying are the people who've never had kids who are suddenly parenting experts the minute someone they know has a kid and proceede to tell said person about how to raise their kid.

Advice is one thing. But when youve never had a kid, its not advice. Its talking out your ass.

I'm annoyed by Yankees fans.

ME TOO!!!:eek:

The Yankees offend me.

You and I have so much in common, it's scary.

Did you see the game the other night? Holy cow.....that was awesome.

I never got it. We all were a kid once. Why do you hate kids for being...kids?

This is what I've always found. I can see hating the attention seeking, cruel or whiny kids, but you find adults like that too. Kids are people, adults are people, and some people are bastards.

The Yankees offend me.

Allelujah and Amen Brotha'!

The thing with kids though, is sometimes you can get them to quit being assfaces.......adults are just stuck that way.

I hate bigotry and intolerance in all its forms.

Wait. This wasn't a thread for serious answers with a dash of unavoidable hypocrisy?
Then I'm all out of ideas.

Not necessarily. Things change, people change and all that.

A catalogue of things too long for my fatigued self to type at present.

Black People.

And George Bush not caring about Black People.

Black People.



Why?

Black People.

And George Bush not caring about Black People.

He does not care about blacks? :confused:

Why?

Because they boil babies then eat them.

Those of non-pure pigment. Sexual deviants, such as those who enjoy it and perform the act in a position other than the missionary. Women's suffrage movements. And those who denounce God for some amusement park standard deity. Also, trolls...

Why?

I, for one, would like my own afro (http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/1606/PreviewComp/SuperStock_1606-3370.jpg), but sadly I'm too white to have one. *is jealous*

Fuck you bitch, I've got two degrees totally at least $60,000 in tuition, and if I want to curse, it in no way decreases my intelligence or breadth and depth of knowledge. :p

Well, to a point. I mean, I've never personally had children, but I'm still pretty confident about stating that, say, the mother in the news recently who broke her baby's arm to get it to stop crying is DOIN IT RONG.

Your use of logic offends me.

You all fucking offend me because you are not cigarettes and I am not currently inhaling you. MAY A THOUSAND BABY TIGERS MOUTH YOU TO DEATH IN THE MOST HORRIBLY DRAWN OUT AND GRADUALLY AGONISING WAY POSSIBLE!

Australians establishing water-dependent crops above Goyder's Line and then going apeshit when the drought speeds up the inevitable bad of that offend me.

Spam.

Spam.

Spam offends you?

It annoys the living fuck out of me, if the culprits are incapable of normal intelligent conversation in addition to spamming (and there are more than a few examples of that here). I wouldn't say it offends me though. You taking offense at such a stupid annoying thing fucking offends me.

The fact that you can't yell at people through the internet is a little frustrating at times.

(and there are more than a few examples of that here

Rape.

Just rape offends you? Therefore racism, homophobia and sexism are fine with you!?

People making fun of me just because im Russian

People making fun of me just because im Russian

Why would someone do that? :confused: I don't see anything to be insulting about.

People making fun of me just because im Russian

*sigh* Russians are so easily offended.

Just about everything.

Actually, though some things do offend me, the list isn't long.

Overuse of profanity. Profanity is not language, it's punctuation and should be used sparingly to make a point. People who can't say one short sentence without loading it with scatology have seriously deficient vocabularies and, possibly, deficient intelligence.

Jokes about rape and sexual abuse. Offensive, unpleasant, disgusting and just not funny. This is right up there with crude sexual comments disguised as jokes. I like a bawdy joke as much as anyone, sexual situations are frequently hilarious, but using humor as an excuse for making crude comments is just ... crude.

Poor hygiene. If you can't keep yourself clean for some reason (like that poor woman with the allergy to water or someone who has limited or no access to soap and water) it's excusable. But I have a hard time tolerating people who choose to be filthy.

People who can't disagree with someone about politics, religion, gender or anything else without resorting to name calling and threats.

People who think they know everything really offend those of us who do know everything.

People making fun of me just because im Russian

Go back to Siberia, soup-boy.

Fucktards who go out of their way to get offended, offend me.

Please refrain from using that type of language on any threads I view.

Homophobics sicken, infuriate and disgust me. Especially ones that try and look like they're tolerant, by saying things like "I'm not opposed to civil unions" etc.

I do not like it when people blaspheme. Not only is it a violation of one of the 10 commandments but it is disrespectful to God and to people of faith. As a sin it is likened to a situation where a parent gives a child a wonderful gift and the child responds by smacking the parent across the face.

So homophobes like me who do oppose civil unions do not sicken, infuriate, and disgust you? Upon reflection, these people disgust me too. As a homophobe I think it is odd that one of my ilk would be for civil unions.

Darn it! Now I am hungry for soup. I guess I have to go home and make some.

Yes, they do. Just not as much. At least they're open about it.

It just so happens that, sadly, Christians are the group who most commonly carry this attitude.

But I suspect youre just trolling now.

Who said God is male? ;)

Oh my fucking God, relax.

I was worried that this would happen. I feel bad that I was part of an ally-oop of blasphemy. Why do you blaspheme like this? Why do you delight in such sinful nastiness? If you are just trying to get a rise out of me that is silly because this is not about me, not even close. This is about God.

I believe that God has a sense of humor. Hell, I think that's the whole reason he created us!

Being an athiest, I care not one lick for your 'God'.

What offends me:

Stupidity. Wilful stupidity, that and wilful ignorance.

Noisy, obnoxious children; children who run amok in restaurants, airplanes, or the like, and their ignorant parents who refuse to rectify the situation. After all, the only time one notices children like this is not when it's in an appropriate location, but it's where the children should logically be expected to behave to a degree.

Preachy religious folks. You're entitled to believe whatever makes you happy, just don't expect me to. Of course, there are hose who practice but you never hear a peep; they keep to themselves; which is fair for both sides. Basically the variety that try to impose their 'morality' on those who don't share their views or beliefs. Adding to this: being told I'm sinning and blaspheming when I don't even believe in that horse manure.

Inequality.

Sexism.

Racism.

Bigotry.

Harmful deception and lies. Strangely, harmless lying doesn't offend me. After all, there are times when lies are necessary for maintaining civil relations and preventing greater harm.

Eh. It'd be nice though, I mean, what if God is actually female? That Jesus was rewritten to be male? I mean, it never said that Jesus was a Virgin, and the gospels have been twisted around... Makes you wonder...;)Mostly in jest Lord, please don't smite me!

But I suspect youre just trolling now.

It just so happens that, sadly, Christians are the group who most commonly carry this attitude.

Muslims got it right when they described Jews, Christians, and Muslims as "children of the book". Anybody with any biblical foundation or influence upon their faith is going to perhaps have some difficulties with the concept of man on man sex being acceptable. Some people from these faiths have no problem with it. Some do. It certainly is nothing to hold against someone. I do not pick on people for their beliefs. It is definitely an uncool cake with plenty of fascist icing upon it to think that way.

Fascist Icing? Criticism is Fascism? What world are you living in?

Homophobia.

Gendered thinking and behavior--not acting oneself in accordance with one or another sex stereotype, but believing that everyone else should and/or does, and thinking of human relations in those exclusive terms.

The conviction that one knows and understands everything, when it is accompanied by stupidity and/or ignorance.

Posturing at profundity and wisdom. This is oftentimes annoying even when there is actually profundity and wisdom, though obviously it is more so when the person believes (and propagates) nonsense that merely sounds profound and wise.

Children, ignorance, homophobes and stupid religious nuts.

Just the first female goddess that popped to mind, really.

Is it a coincidence that the first one that popped into your head is the goddess of sex? I think not!

Children

Blasphemy is not a cool thing to do. If we forget about the most important aspect of it (your relationship with God) and even just look at it in terms of what a rude thing it is to say around believers, it is still unacceptable. The name of the Lord is the most sacred thing to believers in God. Even invoking his title ("God") is something that should be done respectfully.

It is rather similar to burning the flag. If you were to burn the American flag respectfully it is all good and everyone is cool with that because old damaged irreperable flags are supposed to be respectfully burned. But if you burn the flag disrespectfully you will probably get beat up because that is the most offensive thing you can do around an American.

God has no flag or symbols. In fact he commands that there be no graven images or likenesses of God as part of the prohibition against idolatry. Crosses, Stars of David, and Crescents are symbols of faith and are not symbols of God. You probably would not make a lot of friends if you desecrated these symbols either. Instead of a symbol or a flag, God has is name and in a scared-lite manner his title of "God". Please do not desecrate that with blasphemy. It is so uncool and it offends me a lot not that that matters to anybody.

Uncool? Wasn't being 'uncool' phased out around a generation ago?

And besides, being offended is the American way. If you aren't being offended, someone isn't exercising their rights.:D

Being an athiest, I care not one lick for your 'God'.

Even if you are an atheist you do not need to be a jerk about it. If you blaspheme you are not being respectful to other people's faith. I do not believe that Jesus was God but I do not use his name in vain out of respect for Christians.

You have the right to free speech. You can go up to a guy and tell him that his mother is a whore or some other type of insult and you will still probably get a black eye that you would have to admit you deserved. You do not have a right to harass people. Burning a flag inappropriately is just asking for a black eye. We all know this.

Please do not speak disrespectfully of spaghetti.

People do not really believe in a divine invisible spaghetti monster. By the way, I had great angel hair pasta at Olive Garden yesterday.

Firstly, I have no relation with any god. I do NOT believe in any god because it's just so ludicrous to me.

Secondly, you now make me remember why I was completely and irrevocably turned off Christianity. It was this kind of non-sense that did it for me. In fact, unless my memory is completely failing, this sounds exactly like something I was told ad nauseum. Oh how I resented hearing this; when I see this, I can hear the nerve-grating preachy condescending tone that my distaste. I find it offensive.

Well, they'd have to come across the border to kick my ass because I'm Canadian. Your point is moot, as I have no intention of visiting the US. Nothing of interest to me there.

Once again, it does not apply to me. I am an Atheist. I do not buy into that of the Biblical nonsense. It makes no difference to me if it was written in some ancient document. It has no bearing on my life, and 'His' commands are mostly worship guidelines anyway. As I don't worship, I have no use for such guidelines.

Eh, but if it's the truth, it isn't libel, and thus you'd probably be able to get both the guy who punched you and his mother in prison for a bit.

And no, I wouldn't deserve it.
You do not have a right to harass people. Burning a flag inappropriately is just asking for a black eye. We all know this.
No, we don't. Unless we live in a lawless country where Vigilante Justice is dealt out on the dark streets of it's cities.:eek2:

Do you really think that blasphemy in the presence of believers is a respectful thing to do to those believers even if you do not believe in God or even if you are right in your belief? It is a rude thing to do to believers even if it is not sinful.

Rude? You're assuming all Christians care if those who DO NOT follow their beliefs are... Well, not following their beliefs.

Burning a flag inappropriately is just asking for a black eye. We all know this.
Who gives a fuck about flags anyway? I wouldn't mind if someone burned hundred Finnish flags. It's just a piece of cloth, nothing else. They have the right to do it and even if I didn't like it, I still wouldn't assault the burner.

Do you think preaching to non-believers is respectful of their beliefs? Telling them not to do something just because it's in some book that have no bearing on our lives?

It's just about something you beleive in. You don't beleive (have a feeling) in the Finnish flag, so you wouldn't care about it. Someone who may be more nationalistic, may. It's quite simple.

The point of a flag is it's not just cloth, it's representation of something. A flag, the statue of liberty, the eiffel tower, the British Queen, all these things exist to represent more than just themselves.

I dislike if people burn the American flag, because I think it's highly disrespectful and shows that they literally loathe my country, but I don't think it should be illegal.

People do not really believe in a divine invisible spaghetti monster.

And if anyone did, would you be careful about saying disrespectful things about spaghetti?

By the way, I had great angel hair pasta at Olive Garden yesterday.

I love Italian food.

Guys who touch women on the street offend me (I don't mean as in affection displayed by couples, I mean it as in "unknown bastard trying to touch my breasts or other parts of me on the street, even in mid-day" ... for the record, I rarely wear make-up and revealing or tight clothes). I have good reflexes almost always and I kick their hands aside in mid-air but it bothers me a lot when it happens ... Sometimes when I stop their hands, I myself say stuff like "go fuck yourself" (I'm not proud of saying such words, but I'm not an object either) ...

If someone asks you to not swear or "blaspheme" in his presence, it would be rude to not try to stop while they are still there. It's not a matter of taking the Second (or is it the Third?) Commandment as true, it's a matter of not upsetting another person. You may think it a silly request, but it's easy enough to oblige.

If someone did think that, then it would suggest that THEY are rather UnAmerican, opposing the First Amendment like that. So, one might say that in VERY CERTAIN circumstances, burning the flag could be quite patriotic, such as making a point on how the legal status of burning the flag is hypocritical in itself, no?

Unless I've missing something as of recently, and it's now legal.

I don't buy that people burning American flags are doing it to pro-American, lol. I buy that they are doing it to show their protest against our nation and/or government. I buy that people who dislike it, yet allow it, are pro-American. For feeling pride in their nation enough to oppose it, but for respecting the constitution and our freedoms enough to allow it.

I didn't know it was illegal???

I'm not generally patriotic but I would be offended if someone tried to burn the Queen. Its just not done :mad:

I suppose burning the others would be alright if you controlled the blaze and owned the thing in question.

If I was directly then I would try. Of course, if one or two came out, I wouldn't be surprised; I can't change my habits so easily.

Um, hearing curse words actually offends me. Not because they are all 'icky', but I believe they are the mark of ignorance.

Berlusconi. Not just because he's a disgusting psychodwarf, but I believe that he is the maker of ignorance.

I think overly cheap people piss me off the most -especially when they're a lot richer than me.

Examples

Non-Cheap guy buys a proper sleeping bag, Cheap guy continually bitches about his bag being forty dollars cheaper, bought at a flee market and is wow, meant for -5 c. which translates in reality to about 10 c. Non-Cheap guy has to put up with Cheap Guy yacking about how he uses a piece of pink insulation foam to sleep on because it was cheaper than an air mattress and wildly available after his neighbour had a renovation project last summer. While Non-Cheap guy pumps up his mattress, Cheap guy stands and laughs at how he has to pump something up. Non-Cheap guys go to sleep, and would have had a fine sleep if Cheap guy would stop complaining about his mattress making him itchy. Non-Cheap guy is forced to give Cheap Guy his extra blanket because Non-Cheap guy can no longer get any sleep whatsoever because of Cheap Guy's constant shivering and wining.

Brings back old scouting memories to be honest...

Hippies offend me.

I consider myself to be somewhat nationalistic but I don't have any feelings for the flag (or any other symbol for that matter). To me freedom of speech and expression is one of the most sacred things there is. If you hate the president or the state itself, go ahead and burn a flag or make a cartoon or whatever. Same goes for neo-nazi idiots. If you want to monger hate by having a demonstration, you have the right to do it even if the majority doesn't agree with your views (as long as you don't break any laws, that's it).

I really can't stand children, and I do find small children offensive. I am sure when they are yours, they are adorable, but ...

You have the right to free speech. You can go up to a guy and tell him that his mother is a whore or some other type of insult and you will still probably get a black eye that you would have to admit you deserved. You do not have a right to harass people. Burning a flag inappropriately is just asking for a black eye. We all know this.

So you think people using their freedom of speech is an acceptable excuse for assault?

Well, if anybody tries to attack me for what I say, they better be prepared for me to defend myself. Will I win?(Well, as much as it is possible to "win" a fight... in my view, if things actually come to blows, I've failed.) It's impossible to say for sure. But I'll sure as hell make sure they think twice about trying it in the future.

Yeah. One of my friends (ex-military, by the way) explained to me that he was quite strongly considering burning a flag. His reasoning was this: once a flag is dirty and worn, the proper way to dispose of it is by fire. Because our last administration so sullied the flag, he would have no choice but to dispose of it. Besides, better to burn the flag than the Constitution.

Now, I'm not really nationalistic or anything, and I see no rational reason for nationalism-- in fact, I think it does a lot of harm in this world. But that made a lot of sense to me. Essentially, saying "You have so dirtied this flag that it is now my duty to dispose of it."

If this person just happened to be near by and wasn't involved in my conversation, and it didn't involve them, I'd tell them no way. And besides, if they've noticed I've sworn, then obviously they've been listening to the conversation and eavesdropping in itself is rude.
It would depend. If you were speaking loudly enough they couldn't help hearing you, then you're probably annoying more than just those who are offended by saying "Oh my God." If they're eavesdropping it should be simple enough for them to ignore you.

How about those men who, having just met you and having no relationship with you, call you "hon" or "dear" or "sweetheart?" I'm sure most of them mean no harm, but it implies a level of familiarity that I don't want.

But this is actually the place to do that, when the thread title and topic is about that kind of thing. I know what you mean. You're having a conversation about, say, wanting to buy something, and some guy brings up how it's the President taxing everyone to death, blah, blah, blah. Sets my teeth on edge.

I think it's morally repugnant and despicable. Since this is the conclusion of reason, not the result of unthinking prejudice, it is not a "phobia" in any meaningful sense.

Although strictly speaking Goyders line does only apply within SA and when the crops were planted it was in the 1800's and within a few years the farmers left and many of the towns vanished.

Blasphemy is not a cool thing to do. If we forget about the most important aspect of it (your relationship with God) and even just look at it in terms of what a rude thing it is to say around believers, it is still unacceptable.
Fuck god.
The name of the Lord is the most sacred thing to believers in God. Even invoking his title ("God") is something that should be done respectfully.
Why?
It is rather similar to burning the flag. If you were to burn the American flag respectfully it is all good and everyone is cool with that because old damaged irreperable flags are supposed to be respectfully burned. But if you burn the flag disrespectfully you will probably get beat up because that is the most offensive thing you can do around an American.
I, for one, don't care if someone burns an American flag.
God has no flag or symbols. In fact he commands that there be no graven images or likenesses of God as part of the prohibition against idolatry. Crosses, Stars of David, and Crescents are symbols of faith and are not symbols of God. You probably would not make a lot of friends if you desecrated these symbols either. Instead of a symbol or a flag, God has is name and in a scared-lite manner his title of "God". Please do not desecrate that with blasphemy. It is so uncool and it offends me a lot not that that matters to anybody.
You're right, it doesn't matter to me, because you're god has no meaning to me.

I remember reading a while back about an officer who was captured by the Viet Cong. While in his prison camp, he was subjected to torture; one day, he was visited by Jane Fonda, who was wearing a necklace made-out of pieces of downed American planes; she spent the whole visit telling him what a horrible person he was.

He was later released, and returned to the United States. He was asked if would like Jane Fonda to be punished for treason, and (to paraphrase him, since it has been a while) he said: "I am an American soldier. My duty is to fight and, if necessary, die for her right to say what she said."

That is my concept of an ideal American. The fact that one can openly hate the United States is one of the reasons this country was considered great upon its founding.

With someone with an Ex-Marine grandfather, and who knows a few men who were once in the Navy, Marines, and Army (Ex. Most of my family) I can attest to this.:D

It makes me laugh. I found that "glory-hogs" is popular name for the Marines, whilst a number of Marines called us "pussies" for having such "easy" Basic. :D

Meh, I've been through both Army and Marine Boot Camp and physically I found Marine boot easier... Of course that might be because I was in better shape for the latter...

The only ones that I look(ed) down on for how easy their boot camp is is the (ch)Air Force...

In general each of the Armed Forces trash the others.

Somebody that thinks it is ok to burn US flags in a disrespectful way makes me raise an eyebrow.

You must really hate the boy scouts.

Me too... :p

In all candor, members of the Marines often insult the Army, and vice versa. Not trying to make any sweeping statement, though.

Ah but that is the sort of "playful" inter-service rivalry. I am talking about those still living in the 1960s who call those in uniform "baby-killers" and all of the usual nonsense.

Someone just texted me a pic of his penis........again. I'm offended.

I don't even know this person......I think. I don't know the number and the penis isn't familiar.

What you don't remember what it looked like, the other night you couldn't stop talking about it. Admittedly it was dark but surely you saw and felt enough to remember it. :p

But really who does that? Without the other person asking for it that is.

I probably didn't respond well when it was sent to me the first time......which was I showed it to my husband and said "look what someone texted me" and so he called them back, pretending it was his phone "Hey, so I just got your dick on my phone, it's pretty small....you want me to send you mine so we can compare? Where are you at anyway?"

Thought it would freak them out........apparently not.

It is not "playful".

It is to a large extent, unless you listen to Mike Sparks. The procurement battles sometimes get nasty however. The only genuine hatred I have seen was from some soldiers towards some PMCs.

It ain't foaming-at-the-mouth hatred, but I often find a strong dislike.

lol, nice one.

I am an Eagle Scout and a member of the board of directors for a scouting council. Boy Scouts do not disrespectfully burn the US flag!

Yeah that sucks.
