Just about. Why am I thinking of The Time Machine by H. G. Wells?

Sure hasn't everyone been accused by now?

Herb, you saw this one, right?

I am sooooooo totally offended by all this speech I DEMAND recompense!!! Please send precious metal coins, rounds, or bullion to...

LOL! I never thought of it that way.

My gf applauds your good taste and productivity.

My good dino Dr. Jekyll side hates cockroaches. They draw out the serial killer psycho in me. I have even laughed at their ghastly deaths.

Having been in the publishing business and printing controversial stories, I can tell you first hand about unfair revues. It's particularly frustrating when the reviewers criticize the best parts without understanding them and latch on to inconsequentialities to make their points. Read most revues of A.S. and the only thing you can say is "Wha?" They don't even come close to getting it. It boils down to most readers being smarter than most reviewers.

hey, guy! howya doing? -- j

didn't this start with "hate speech" and "hate crime" --
concepts which live in redundancy like "period red" and
"arrest-me red," colors which friends have called
their favorite rides, a bronco and a corvette, respectively.

if you're pissed because I'm breathing your air,
it is not hate-worthy, and you are free to despise
without *government* intrusion, as you wish!!! -- j

Bill Cosby: "And tired" always followed sick. Worst beating I ever got in my life, my mother said, "I am just sick..." And I said, "And tired." I don't remember anything after that.

Maybe there should be a consequence for demanding a consequence because one is offended?

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I just got tired of being sick and tired and feeling down. Unfortunately, you don't realize this until you're getting sober but the reason why you're depressed all the time is it's the drugs that are depressing you.
Steven Adler

The world will change for the better when people decide they are sick and tired of being sick and tired of the way the world is, and decide to change themselves.

I'm very offended by all of this.
And you all OWE it to me to stop talking about it.
Ummm...where did everyone go? Anyone there?
Anyone...?

When I was working a summer job in high school (shipping dept of a factory) one of the adults who worked there was a black/brown guy partly of african decent. Sometime in the first week I was there he pulled me aside and asked me. "Are you prejudiced?"
I answered, "Everyone is prejudiced in some way."

Comrade citizens, are there any racists here?

Whew!

Me too...I'm also a sayer of "oh grow up" and "get over yourself". :)

Yes.

No?

wow

Well how offensive is that! Kidding! You nailed it. I can't tell you how many times I've said the same thing. I'm still a believer in the stick & stones thing.

If someone gets offended by the words of another it is because they CHOOSE to be...so they can then get righteously vicious in their condemning, tissue holding, intolerant, finger pointing. Which, apparently, is easier for them than just coming up with a well reasoned argument.
