Strong indicator that you are dealing with an idiot. Patheticpeople often use "I am offended" to gain power over others in conversations; with the intent that the other person will cower to them in order to make them feel not offended. However, the correct response to "offended" people is to thank them for confirming that they are an idiot, and move on.
To be offended. An evil state of mind that causes censorship, kills freedom of speech, destroys urban dictionary definitions (via the remove button), and ruins video games as well as many other things.
People who are able to by "offended" by anything are the worst people on earth. Keep an open mind about things and live and let live. Don't ruin things for other people just because you can't take it. Not everything is pleasent in this world and if you can't take it then you need to grow up.
Spoiler alert to anyone that hasn't been on the page yet:
A rather "interesting" page on Encyclopedia Dramatica that starts off pretty innocent, but takes a dark turn pretty quickly, with pictures ranging from harlequin babies to gory dead bodies to freaky bugs, and at the end a classic picture of George Bush. Once you've scrolled down to the bottom of the page, you see a certificate qualifying you to live in the United States. Hooray! :D
Honestly, since i'm a screwed up individual, I didn't really mind seeing the content this page has, except for those GODDAMN BUGS! UGH!
I was just on a page about Asperger's and saw a disclaimer at the top of the page telling me if I was offended to click on the word and slowly scroll down. It was like 11:00 PM at night when I first saw this page today.......Sleeping is for the weak anyways.
