You forgot to include one:

[d] None of the above.

“What would you like broken: arm, leg, or maybe or maybe your neck?”

That maybe easier said than done.

"By which I infer that’s right because “everyone’s” doing it”?

No, it’s not “right” because everyone is doing it it’s right because we have a first amendment that allows freedom of speech whether you as an individual choose to agree or disagree with it that’s just the way it is and it’s not going away, and of course you have the right to disagree with me in a verbal or written way, that’s what makes America great.

“Ah, now I understand: you think it’s alright to offend.”

No, I don’t think it’s alright to purposely offend anyone, however I do believe that people need to learn that the world is not a perfect place and we need to learn to absorb information, analyze it, suck it up and go on with life. I think we are allowing petty words and situations to offend us for no reason. America is starting to understand how destructive this politically correct way of thinking is and if you closely pay attention to media sources you should know that.

“In order: yes, yes, and yes – and you don’t only offend nice ladies with the last, you offend gentlemen as well… a word you either have never heard, or have not heard without the phrase “start your engines.””

O.K to the first: If your going to sit there and say that you have never checked out an attractive woman in the office I would say you either work with all men, your lying, or your gay.

To the second: If I’m not mistaken all restroom doors in elementary and Jr. High schools are labeled ‘boys’. So since this label is so offending to young black kids I guess we should change it to ‘young European American males, young African American males’ and on and on with all the other nationalities. I’m sure you were called boy when you where young as I was. So when I call a young kid a boy regardless of race there’s no agenda behind it.

Do you like and approve of ‘gansta’ Rap and all the sexual and murderous connotations that go with it? Since you’re so worried about offending other’s you better, because if you don’t you offend lot of black people.

Have you ever heard of the The Osborne’s on MTV? How about the Howard Stern show? They are both nationally top ranked shows. The reason these shows are so popular is because watching and or listening to them is anonymous no one knows they are watching or listening and lot’s of people enjoy them for entertainment value only. The world is passing you by; it’s leaving you behind. One of the most valuable lesson’s I learned in business is that change is inevitable and you either learn to adapt to it or sink.

As for that word that “offends” ladies as well as gentlemen, I learned all about it all in a 7th grade Health and Human anatomy class. It seemed not to offend the instructor to say the word penis and vagina around minor children.

“Offend the wrong person the wrong way and life may instantly become way to short.”

Not worried about this in the least. Here in Texas we have a law that allows qualified citizens to carry a weapon. I have a permit to carry and have been experienced with using weapons since the age of 5 years, self defense is a long time hobby of mine and anyone that feels they need to take me out for an unintentional remark that may offend them then it maybe their life that end’s “way to short”. If someone shoots the finger at you driving down the road it doesn’t mean you have right to follow him or her then inflict bodily harm.

“Let me give you a little advise, sonny: learn what a life is before you presume to advise other to get one.”

I shouldn’t have made that statement.

“inadequacies”

No, there are none. I think you feel that people that don’t buy into your way of thinking are somehow inadequate. This is narrow-minded thinking that is dieing and on it’s way out so I find it insignificant.
