When people can simply say that they are offended and have all sorts of
operations thus brought to a screeching halt then you know that
political correctness has run amok. Some take it to the extent that
being offended becomes offensive. When people use these allegedly
offensive expressions offense is often the furthest thing from their
minds; they are not being disrespectful of anybody. Their actions
should be viewed in that light, and not in the light of someone else's
self-pity.
