And again, it depends on what they're bitching about that makes it deplorable or not, eh?
Just the opposite.
It's not the side of the issue which defines the hypersensitive,
and it's not even the issue itself.
It's the one being indignant about his/her sensibilities being abused who seriously needs to toughen up, Owl.
I'm not bothering you or participating in the truncating of your rights.
I AM saying his/hers/its instead of the suddenly accepted, and in my mind, very stupid, "their."
Is somebody offended?
I'll do it more for spite because I won't be held to an unreasonable standard.
Even with dead babies in Gaza, which nobody thinks is good,
if you're not going to make an effort to understand why it's happening,
call me callous--I don't care about that, either.
Turning the other cheek is fine for people who want to be slapped twice,
but I'm not going to try to convince myself that such people are sane.
If my supporting Israel offends people, I simply chose a side.
That's what I'm wired to do.
Others feel free to do the same or not at their own discretion.
