A lot of people find a lot of things offensive! Lol... That doesn't mean shit.
I laugh at people being offended. For real. There is NO REASON for people to be offended for someone uttering their opinion. If so, then I would be offended for A LOT of things! I'm not offended when Young Earth Creationists say that the Earth is about 6,000 years old, even though that goes against everything in science. I make fun of them because it seems as if they don't realize how full of shit they are.
So they are allowed to "attack" established science, but when I "attack" their view and they get all offended I'm supposed to stfu? Lol, I'm sorry, but that's not how it works.
The fact that people actually get offended is what makes the whole thing so funny. I think it was Confucius that said: "The ignorant gets angry, the wise understands." When people are criticized and they don't understand anything, they get offended and often angry. Maybe if they sit back and take a chill pill they might understand what it's all about, why the opponent is saying what he or she is saying and either agree to disagree or change one's opinion.
The "offensive card" is the worst cop-out in history and shouldn't be encouraged.
Some examples

I'm sure this would be offensive to a lot of obese people. It's still funny as hell! I respect the obese people laughing with me at this, but sigh at people getting offended by it.
If someone made a demotivator about epilepsy (I have) that wouldn't offend me at all. If it's a good and funny demotivator, I would laugh no matter the topic in question. Offensive humor is the best and I know A LOT of people agree with me on this one.
And an example of how ridiculous the whole "offensive card" is:

It's so fucking subjective and frankly; it's stupid. |
I don't see Religious extermist as being full of shit, I see them as miss-guided. You have to understand that these people are a product of their environment. Taught by their parents or populace and culture. Some don't want to see the facts or quickly dismiss them due to these reasons. If they truly become offended then they are weak or if they try to argue with you.
The one thing I can't stand is when they quickly draw a big fat line in the sand by saying you're going to hell. That is wishing some kind of metaphorical hate towards us Atheist.
I thing we can co-exist on this planet as what I like to call mutal understanding! I don't deal with Religious extremist on a daily basis.
The people that are Family and some friends that believe in God have very interestingt views that sway away from the conviental way.
As I said before, Religion is no longer black and white(atleast amongst the people I know... They are modifying their beliefs to there own personal perception, as these are the people I enjoy their company because Religon doesn't come up very often as we figured out how to get along. So my friends and I are beyond this discussion. They respect me as well. Case closed amongst my real friends. Now, I'm not gay but that Church that goes to funerals to protest and say harsh words about the death of gay Soldiers... If I could bitch slam them with words then a hand to the face and get away with it, you please believe I would love to do so.
