What is it inside of you that has you so wound up about how other people live their lives? I really think you should switch your focus to WHAT'S INSIDE OF YOU that causes you to be so easily triggered by non-issues.

Would you tell someone that studies psychology or sociology for a living that?

Possibly, if their assessments seem to be coming from a place of hate.

What assessment have you deemed to be hate here? People nowadays seem to have hate alarms with a lot false alarms.

There's an "anti" sentiment to your posts. People have clever ways of masking their true feelings and intentions. If it don't apply, let it fly.

Sounds like you are pretty easily triggered!

People being offended offends you!

I even think that's over the top. Maybe just embellishment. I do get annoyed when it's every other word but I find that's the same annoyance when people say the word "like" or "uhm" with that frequency

I'm not that annoyed by it but I get it. Bad speech patterns are hard to listen too. Google the first porky pig cartoon. They actually hired a man with a terrible stutter to be his voice. It's hard to listen to.

I think it's how a word is used that makes it a slur. For example retard. I had a Ford that had a distributor on it. I'm order to get it to run correctly I had to retard the timing it was too far advanced.

Makes me wonder if the only reason they are considered "bad words" is through conditioning. If we just stopped doing that it would no longer be an issue.

Yes, I do get annoyed by people who get angry over things that aren't hurting anyone, especially when those things wouldn't be a problem if they were to mind their own business. Why do I get annoyed? Because these are the types of people who create problems that DO end up hurting people, all because their sensibilities were offended.

If the people do it loudly in public, it infringes on other people. if they do it in business it infringes on other people. A lot of women would have reason to be offended if someone was throwing the f word around in the office. If they use that language at other people, its hostile. It infringes on people, much like smoking does, and smoking is now restricted.
