I think all words should be fair game, after all, aren't we all supposed to be adults here?

My understanding of being offended is that its a choice. Why not choose not to be offended and just move along?

It comes around to just general maturity in a society. It's been too long where the immature have taken control of policy unopposed 

Voting for educational interests is a good start

People used to have to be right to be right.  Now all they have to be is offended to be right.

Are you offended by the oversimplification?

No, but I am tired of hearing the argument.

There are many terms and words that are currently almost universally regarded as 'wrong'.  But at the time that people started to question their usage and place in the vernacular there was massive pushback that the offended were being too sensitive.

I think one of the more recent and best examples is the use of the 'r' word which is considered a derogatory term toward those with disabilities.   

So maybe there are other things that require further exploration and should be expunged. 

At one point society deemed that calling African Americans the 'n' word was acceptable.  Nowadays, it is nowhere near acceptable and that is a good thing.

So maybe some people are offended by certain things, because they actually are offended and have reason to be.
