No, not at all!!! I and all Americans have the freedom to express ourselves in anyway we see fit. Anyone who is offended by it, can go away, turn the channel, not buy it. I get offended by things too. I am offended by pornography but I do not go out and push for strip clubs, x rated theatres, and adult bookstores to be closed. I just avoid them because I realize that what I deem to be right may not be right for all.

I actually think its funny lol... good thing I'm half blk though, otherwise by laughing ppl would accuse me of being a racist.

I would be offended.I admit I find it funny,and sometimes I cringe.We shouldn't support it.If it was my race I would feel like everyone was laughing at me.It would feel the same as being bullied.

I am in the middle of the road on being politically correct.  There wouldn't be any comedians out there if they were politically correct. So, no, I'm not easily offended. =)

As an individual, being spoken to and called a chick, or being spoken about and referred to as a babe, doesn't bother me, and I don't find it offensive.  I look at chick as being slang for girl, just like dude is slang for guy, and babe is an endearment by a boyfriend, or a descriptive word most of the time intended as a compliment.\n\nBut if you are using it in a term of "those chicks.. or those babes".. plural, means you think of us all the same, lumped into a group of meaningless characteristics with a shallow description. That's offensive to me, because I'm worth more than being recognized as a "pack or group"

I think it just to irritate those of us who find them offensive. At the campground that we go to there is a guy who has one, and I told him not to be surprised if he found it cut up into a million pieces and laying on his porch.

I personally dont get offended by them because they were always my second language.  I do however think they can make a person sound extremely unintelligent when they use them simply for shock value.  I think that as we mature though, it does seem to make you cringe when people curse with every other word out of their mouth.  I can have a pretty dirty mouth when I get angry, or when I smash my thumb with a hammer or something- but in everyday conversation, whats the point?  Is it to sound "cool?"  I remember I used to do it for that reason when I was like 8, but when the thrill wore off- it just seemed like those words really didnt have any real purpose for being in my sentances, but I didnt get offended by them- more like turned off I guess.\n\nIf I meet someone and we are just having a conversation, and profanity takes up most of their conversation, I just think they are ignorant for the most part.  I am used to it though, so sometimes the profanity seems more natural in certain situations.\n\nTaking Gods name in vain though, I think that is absolutely offensive because it is against the religious beliefs of many, whether you understand it or not- it does offend a lot of people.\n\nby the way, tranced- you didnt offend me either,you just gave me a bad impression of you. Your comments are ignorant because the truth is, if everyone believed in Jesus there wouldnt be any arguments, so the world wouldnt be so messed up. Like it or not its true, because if everyone believed in something moral - no matter what it is- we would all agree on that morality.  So, to show you the ignorance in your statement- it is ridiculous to blame Christians for the worlds troubles when the worlds troubles are rooted in things that go AGAINST Christian belief!\n\nSometimes a little reason- goes a long way, no matter what your beliefs are.

I hope it does offend people though.\n\nIt's obnoxious and actually quite sad.  People just don't care enough about it to take an interest in it and actually better themselves.  I don't think that people actually consider how badly it reflects upon them.

I have a high threshold of tolerance for things. I watched this one white comediane spend half of her routine saying things that, being black, could have offended me, including the N-word. The first time I watched it I was a little upset then I re-watched it and she was making valid, legitimate complaints about every race and the jokes were VERY funny. I found that she was no worse than Richard Pryor or Chris Rock. \n\nSo no, it doesn't really bother me if anybody is doing it to make a legitimate and funny joke. Sarah Silverman, who is white and Jewish, can be quite "offensive" but the jokes are often funny and trying to make a point. \n\nWhat Michael Richards did was not funny though. He was clearly trying to be rude, mean and hateful to get back at the hecklers. He's a comedian and should know better. He didn't try to be funny or make a joke about the situation, he just went into this racist tirade and that's the difference. Also, lynching, no matter what race, is never really, you know, that funny. At All.

It's only racist if you chosse to make it racist. \n\nUnfounded racial hatred is deplorable, but the looney left have reclassified perfectly innocent phrases as racism.

No.  I find it really pathetic.  I usually make fun of them.

You don't say specifically in what ways you might be over-reacting but I'm assuming your offended by the perceived racial connotations of their statements. Have you asked what they mean when they say this to you? \nAnyway, if the statements are intended to imply some racial slant then yes, you have every right to be offended.

It depends on how he is being depicted.  Some are just cute and OK but some are meant to be hurtful and rude. That does offend me. But because you have the right to say what you want unless it is slander I will respect if because I want you to respect my right to say what I want also. \n\nKilling and rioting in the streets does not change peoples opinion only helps you look like a fanatic and lunatic, not to mention scary.
