    and if they do what has it to do with anyone else.
    You could identify and project as a Neanderthal with only half a brain cell but that would be your choice and nothing to do with anyone else

    Life is full of choices. Free to do whatever they want. It's also a free choice to not give a flying feck what anybody else thinks. So if someone gets offended at what I personally say it's my right not to give two shits.

    Thanks for telling me I would never have known that. No honestly, you win the award for stating the bleeding obvious.

    well some people on here seem to have missed this fact as they seem to moan when people call them out for their ‘opinions’

    The whole thing centred around taking offence. Now you as an individual are free to be offended by whatever floats your boat. Where I have a problem is where someone is offended by something that has no intention of being offensive. It's like a cancer in our society with people actively looking for offence that is only here if you specifically looking for it to suit a narrative. I'm jumping out now as we are just going round in circles.

    Without questioning how are people supposed to know if something was meant to be offensive? I also find the constant claim of it isn’t meant offensively is a get out clause that people use so they can be offensive

    I think that is where you are wrong. To be found guilty of offensive behaviour they do not have to show any intent of offence by the person, just that their behaviour or words could cause offence to a reasonable person

    Imagine if you get offended when someone gets offended by something which you don't find offensive when using your own ideology/beliefs. :geek:
