What do you consider taking up an offence?

Quiet Warrior,\n\nYou have a very good way to look at it. I am reminded that Jesus said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” He was certainly asking His Father not to charge His judges and tormentors and executioners with their offenses against Him, but also they REALLY didn’t understand what they were doing.\n\nIt is very easy to see that they offended Him, but not quite so easy to see that they really didn’t understand what they were doing. Pilate seemed to have a sense that he condemned an innocent man; the high priest uttered prophetically, “It is better for one man to die for all the people,” and the crowd shouted, “His blood be upon us and our children.” One of the thieves realized that Jesus was a good man, and even one of the Roman soldiers realized after Jesus died that He was really the Son of God.\n\nHowever, none of them really understood the significance of what they were doing. That is also true of the people who offend us no matter how deliberate or shrewd they are. If people really understood the nature of their acts, then they wouldn’t do them.\n\nWe all look at an event like 9/11 and are horrified by the carnage, and it is incredible to us that anyone could commit such acts. Osama bin Laden and the other masterminds and perpetrators, in spite of their obvious planning and forethought, had no real concept of what they were doing. If they had your understanding, then they couldn’t have done it, could they?\n\nI can’t understand serial killers or child molesters or rapists or men who hit women, etc. The only way to really understand those things is to be capable of doing them, so I’m thankful that I don’t understand the way they think. By the same token, they don’t understand the way you or I think. It is foreign to them. If they really understood what they were doing then they couldn’t do it, could they?\n\nAnyway, this line of thinking helps me to forgive just as yours does. It is also good to see that if I don’t forgive others, then God can’t forgive me. That’s a really good motivator.\n\nGod bless.

None. Even if the people deserve it. If I offend someone I usually end up apologizing to them. What's the point of being just another asshole?

Almost always.I believe honesty is the best policy, even if it does get one into trouble sometimes.\n\nEveryone jokes around sometimes, though. I have such a wry sense of humor that some people do not know when to take me serious & when not to though.

Free speech. You can insult, label, ect anyone you want, though some people need to learn that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

I go by this.  If it is their first offense and they are not being a prick, release them.  If it is their second or subsequent offense, book'em Danno.  If it is their first offense and they are being pricks, book'em.

Probably just a mistake on their part, unless you've offended them.

YOUR DEFENCE SHOULD BE BASED ON THIS STATEMENT-YOUR HONOUR-I LASHED OUT IN THE HONEST BELEIF THAT I WAS ABOUT TO BE ATTACKED. I WAS A LONE FEMALE THIS IS ALL THE DEFENCE I HAVE TO OFFER!!. you will be fine-trust me.

Admit the offense if the evidence is strong but use the admission as a mitigating cirscumstance so that your penalty will be lessen.

Some examples might help.\n\nWhat might be innocent to you or me could be offensive to someone else.\n\nOr they might be being reported for being too chatty, or not being questions

no way. lol, i'll be honest. i consider myself a pretty mellow guy, and i'm usually the type to try and make a deflectionary comment rather than an insult. but if it gets bad enough, i'm gonna start saying stuff, and it comes out fast and is usually accompanied by me setting my shoulders and clenching my fists. lol, i hate to get that way, but i'm not perfect.

Depends on the girl/woman and the person that did this.  Some girls no matter if it was accidental or not will be offended just because.  If an apology is offered most of the time most women will forgive it.  Some women take anything as aggressive and take action no matter if an apology was offered.  And then again some will beat the crap out of you because they can.  Like I said, it just depends.

I suppose you may have a point.\n\nBut what if someone said these things about you, could you take it as constructive criticism, or would you be highly offended?\n\nWe all have a huge mountain to climb.

Depends on what you did to violate it.

I get called that every once in a while. You shouldn't take offence. Even if someone means it to be offensive (sarcasm)Just because you always try to do the right thing. There's nothing wrong with being nice! I always have even as a teenager. My parents were pleased of course they could trust me. I just can't bring myself to do something I know will intentionally hurt me or someone else.You do know there are those that are out there that will take advantage of your good nature and dump on you though right?
