How fragile is your mental state that you are offended by words that come out of another person's mouth. I have never been offended in my life because I realize words are harmless and I choose not to give that power over me to someone else. It's scary to think about how soft children born today will grow up to be. Especially considering almost everything will probably be automated by the time they reach adulthood. Teach your children that it is wrong to be offended.

After watching 2 of my neices grow up, one left leaning and the other is right leaning, I'm starting to understand the left better. The left niece thinks with her emotions more. She has an emotional reaction then tries to put some logic to it, the right one accepts the facts only then has a reaction. The left one is also far more susceptible to some one else emotions, I think she makes that connection and simply wants to believe. The other one you have to convince your right. It's kind of fascinating watching their brains work.

Teach children to have thicker skin and not complain, but telling children it's wrong to be offended is dysfunctional. If someone is raping your children you better be offended!!

I think people are mistaking the difference between being offended and becoming angry. No one should ever be offended by anything and you should become angry about many things.

You wouldn't be offended if someone was raping your family member?

I would be angry, anger is different than being offended. At least the way I Define it is because being offended is like being hurt or having hurt feelings because of something someone said. Anger is 100% completely different

Before you get angered you have to be offended.
offend (ə-fĕndˈ)►
anger

It's just like I said one causes wounded feelings and the other causes hostility so I was absolutely correct
mattsixteen24 ago
If you are angry you have wounded feelings. Being offended leads up to anger. You can't be angry without being offended first. How do you become angry? Something offends you first.

Lets just agree that I'm right. Thanks
mattsixteen24 ago
Sorry, it doesn't work that way. I'll agree that this argument is somewhat petty over a poor choice of words and this is just a post on voat that not many people care about, but words do matter. I will say that I do understand your point about people getting offended over little things.

Why would you say this?

Yes, that's right. They are supremely jealous of those who have ability and who can take care of themselves. By definition, as failures, they cannot understand how some succeed while they have failed, because if they knew how to succeed they would have done so. From this blindness they conclude that the successful are stealing from them in some way.

I have made a machine that makes unlimited energy and cant find anyone who cares. Only people who want to steal or brag of their own accomplishments. This is the state of mankind. No help or kindness. Only evil.

I care. What type of energy does it make?

I get angry when they talk about bringing communism to America. Does that make me weak minded since I'm reacting to their words?

Angry is not offended. And say anything about getting angry
Eualos ago
How is angry not a part of offense?

Offended is more akin to being hurt like hurt feelings.
PlateLipsMcGee ago
Do you scream about it like trigglypuff?
Eualos ago
I don't scream. I yell sometimes when people get in my face and say a bunch of bullshit aggressively.
