Offense

[GVP]

Greetings!

After reading the thread about Patty's Christmas Party (hehe) I was thinking about the whole "offense" thing.

To my reckoning, it is impossible to cause offense - you can only take offense, thus it's really your problem not the person perceived to cause it?

No?

You can certainly say things that are 'likely' to cause people to take offense.

That's just crazy.
How do you think most fights start?

I bet I could offend you.

You're an idiot GVP....





.... Just testing LOL

 

[Salmoneye]

Geeze Joe, I hope he is an idiot and didn't understand that, otherwise you might have offended him.

Our national football team could have used some offense.
They just got smacked by Australian socceroos 9-0 last night in Hong Kong.

If you find something offensive then you have chosen to take offense. Your choice, you deal with it. The best that the 'offender' can and should do is say something to the effect "I'm sorry that you were offended." If that.

No way.

Have we offended you?

That's the best defense by the way.

Not to worry - revenge will be swift and complete.
When the world ends on the 21st (us being in the same time zone) both land masses will wink out of existence at the same instant.......
