So because you didn't get offended, he shouldn't either? And thus there is nothing wrong with the situation because you deem it to be appropriate? 

 

Just as one person being offended doesn't make it the end of the world, you not being offended doesn't make it right either. . . 

reading is a gift - try it

Now that is the truth - yoh, some of those vrotgat Whatsapp groups would probably have me in jail

Exactly. Majority of the rubbish on my phone is totally innocent. Luckily all whatsapp pictures/videos go into a folder that says whatsapp and I can sommer just delete the whole folder. I have actually recently turned auto download off because most of the videos I would never actually even open. I will now only download a video depending on the comments to it.

This.

 

If we set our moral compass by the "least offended" we would tolerate a lot more than we tolerate now. Maybe that is the right way to go - I don't think so.

 

If not the fbomb then where do most people draw the line?

 

Cbomb? Multiple fbombs per sentence and a little nudity? Maybe an article on a nudist camp that rides and swears like troopers?

I wasn't offended, so now what? 

 

Does the content cause offence? No.

 

Do you choose to be offended by insignificant rubbish? Yes.

Nope.  That's not what he said.  Try again

Agreed, those groups tend to get you in more trouble than anything else

Set your moral compass wherever you like - its your prerogative.

I'm sorry, I don't see how my interpretation of what he said is wrong? Please enlighten me to how what he said doesn't come back to him not being offended and it thus not being an issue?

 

And even if my interpretation of what he said is wrong, it doesn't make my post silly? The point stands that people have different opinions on things, if something offends you, but doesn't offend someone else, does not make your point any less valid.

And the suburb emergency groups that are no comment groups. Then someone comments :lol:  

 

That are filled with tannies asking why there water/electricity is off, or whose dog they found :wacko:
