I absolutely agree...if people are so easily offended then why bother communicating. People say things all the time to me that I could take offence at, but its just not important..

that's because you know them personally -- and you understand what they're saying.
people are most often afraid of what they don't understand. it's typical human behavior -- nothing to be suprised about

P.C. has gone to such extremes that is itself offensive. e.g. banning the nursery rhyme: Ba Ba Blacksheep
I mean WTF!!!

some people are just like that -- anal
plus it's the keyboard that you type away your thoughts on.. you don't actually talk so it's alot easier to be a jerkass cos you aren't thinking as much as you would be in real life about what your'e communicating

Yeah we have that situation here in sweden to. If you for example have a t shirt with a swedish flag or a viking you are often mistaken for being a racist.
Not that i would wear such things but i think its fucked up.
