It's amazing to me just how easily offended people are these days. Almost every news article I read contains comments in the comment section about how someone is offended by something!
There are countless news stories about people suing other people because they are offended about something and so on...
Are you easily offended? Have you noticed how many people are easily offended these days?
If anything I'm offended by how some people are offended by the smallest of things! lol! (Just kidding I'm not really offended I just think it's ridiculous at times)

No I am not easily offended unless there is a post regarding me and calling me out without including my name. It's happened once 
Not that I was offended but if one were to write about someone mind as well put their name too. But I'm not easily offended.

@Bellatricks Yeah, I have been personally attack and that was offending but from discussions - nope. If someone doesn't agree or I don't agree life goes on. I continue on. there are some who are offended over small things that I don't see is offending.

@infatuatedbby I imagine those people have issues with high blood pressure as well. I think there's a link between health and worrying and being offended. Being offended really works some people up which causes health problems.

I am more offended by the things people say around me in real life - but not so much with the things that I read online. I know - I read the comments below articles too - people feel like they have to take such extreme sides of everything! Well, I assume all these articles aren't the entire story and are possibly skewed - so I just take them for what they are.

That's true. People are easily offended these days. I don't know what to talk about anymore, especially with people I'm not very close with.

The current all things must be politically correct climate has fostered this easy to offend mentality to the point of absurdity and imagination.

There are things that offend me for sure, but so far I have not gone off the deep end due to it.

It's rare for me to legitimately be offended. I have a pretty thick skin.
But sometimes I like to joke around about it. Like, "You called me a Ginger...now I'm SO offended! I'm going to start a movement and all Gingers, er, redheads are going to fight for their rights to not be labeled as soul-less...!"
But that's a whole other discussion...
