There's actually a quote that sums up how I feel on this: <br /><br />“It’s now very common to hear people say, ‘I’m rather offended by that.’ As if that gives them certain rights; it’s actually nothing more… It’s simply a whine. It’s no more than a whine. ‘I find that offensive,’ it has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. ‘I am offended by that.’ Well so fucking what?” --Stephen Fry<br /><br />When I get offended by something, I stew about it, but I eventually get over it, and the time it takes for me to realize that the insult or whatever was harmless and meaningless is taking less and less time. I will never stop loving OSMW posts or Engrish.com pictures. I understand that some people are more sensitive...but I don't have an abundance of sensitive people in my life. My friends and I all have at least one or two stereotypes we can give ourselves and I even made a parody character of my high-school self on Facebook. I just feel there's better things to get up in arms about...like animal cruelty or REAL intolerance (like killing gays, etc that happens a lot in the south) as opposed to sometimes mean and ill-tasteful jokes. <br /><br />BESIDES, I OBVIOUSLY LOVE SOULLESS GINGERS SINCE I TRY SO HARD TO BE ONE WITH ALL MY RED HAIR DYEAlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742580853401318176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692877385745330684.post-79383481575285539662012-08-19T17:43:44.502+02:002012-08-19T17:43:44.502+02:00Great post!!!

And as boys, they have to be extra careful about never having a sterotype come out of their mouth as men are far more likely to be legally prosecuted than a woman (again that whole lie about feminism and equality). There are certain types of people that I tell them to be extra careful around as any parent does not want their children to walk right into the hands of a pediophile (male or female), kidnapper, or slave trader (yes this still happens right here in America). In our modern society to protect our children, sadly we have to teach them to mistrust others. This is a crazy balancing act to both protect them and then not offend others in the process. I think most of us parents fail to some degree to raise the perfect person who never offends anyone.Joyness Sparkleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401511701434819652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692877385745330684.post-53997053596503668172012-08-19T06:41:16.473+02:002012-08-19T06:41:16.473+02:00P.S.

Big Man and I get on each other all the time and make snarky racial comments to each other. <br /><br />Nothing said with malice but we understand that some people aren't cool with our relationship so we like to have fun with. When people talk about stereotypes in a hateful way then I think it's wrong but if it's you and your partner and that is how you interact, I'm all for it. <br /><br />I know I won't stop but like you I don't say anything like that in front of other people as to not upset people. <br />LWLHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13975262231105253072noreply@blogger.com
