Sometimes it seems like people take everything you say and approach it with the attitude of “let’s find a way in which to be personally offended by this.” I want to say that I don’t engage in such bad behavior myself, but I can’t. I’m just slightly less inclined to it than some people.
What is wrong with all of us? Why are we like this? Have we been so strongly instilled with the tenets of political correctness that we must examine every little statement for its hidden potential to insult someone?
Humph. I am offended by the very suggestion!
