AngelBlue, with me you can say anything you care to. I seldom get offended because I learned a long time ago that people can't hurt me. (Unless they're throwing cans of Spam, in which case I'd duck for sure.)
I choose whether or not I decide to feel hurt. Feeling offended is on me, not the person saying the so-called offensive thing. This is what overly-sensitive people on what's called the political left do not understand and/or take responsibility for.
At the same time, it's proper and good as a society that we're becoming more aware of potentially offending others with our speech and behaviour. That's taking self-responsibility, which is a spiritual act and which indicates spiritual progression as a collective. Generally speaking, that's what people on the so-called political right don't want to recognize and admit. And so they create overly-reactionary narratives about their freedoms being taken away and so forth.
In all honesty, I preferred the way life was decades ago, back when things were tediously slow and dull like a European football match, waiting forever for something to happen, just one goal, please someone, anyone. Whereas life today is like a frenetic ping-pong game, with everyone swinging away wildly and scoring points left and right (pun intended) or at least trying to.
Speaking of which, I don't think European footballers are actually trying to score, otherwise matches would end 17-11 and stuff. I mean, have you seen the size of those goals? FIFA is a marketing corp that selects handsome and beautiful runway models, sticks them in skin-tight kits, then pays them to run around on a pitch for 90 minutes, just show off the latest hairstyles, tattoos, shoes, and gear for consumers to rush out and purchase.
I will say though that the wonderful thing about life today is that I can think any crazy thing I like and then announce it to the world as fact. Although I am spot on about those scores at least plus those GK nets ARE ridiculous.
Getting ready to duck in 3...2...1...
Also, J/K!! (just in case)
