Which is most offensive?

Rainbow sheep??!! I've never heard of that one! Although I know the rhyme was banned in some nursery schools in the UK (along with 3 blind mice, which was deemed insulting to disabled people ...)\n\nBut I ignore such stupid bans myself, and I taught both rhymes to my kids without turning them into racist thugs or disabled-people abusers...!\n\nPersonally, I think the 'rainbow sheep' version is more offensive, because black sheep have NOTHING to do with the colour of people's skin, and simply by forcing people to change the words you automatically make them more aware of the differences between the races.

I reckon that any self-respecting monkey or gibbon would be most insulted by your question!

In general, people do mean what they say in a situation like that.\n\nOn a related note, prefacing a cruel remark with "No offense, but.." doesn't make the statement following any less offensive.  It only acknowledges that the speaker KNOWS the statement is offensive.

Neither. Such an activity is disgusting and immoral.

Ignorant.\nA less harsh word could possibly be unfashionable.

No, you should never be offended. It just shows weakness and a lack of understanding on your part.

sounds like one that the guys in my family would enjoy but at the same time, one that would make me want to hit my boyfriend for saying!  A little too racist for me, so you would definetly want to be careful who you tell it to!

The show was extremely offensive to all cultures and celebrities etc... It needed to be pulled. It was more offensive then the show Mind of Mencia which at least was funny for the most part. I'm glad it was pulled.

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.

Yeah is probably offensive to some pro-choicers but abortion is offensive to me. So I will stop wearing my t-shirt when they stop defending the right to kill innocent babies.\n In my opinion as far as abortion is concerned political correctness does not apply..

Oh offense is taken, although you can mean to trigger a person so that they'll take it as offensive and be offended.  So take as offense offered and taken.  ;)  After all, it's up to you how you take things.  Some people aren't offended by some things certain other people are, so...  that's that.  :)

On average, yeah...it's about the most offensive word in the entire language.  I've been called many names affectionately, that most would consider offensive, and yet didn't bother me at all.  The c word is in its own category though.  I don't think any amount of affection while using that word would be enough to make it acceptable to me.

Profanity origniated out of religious obserance of words that were either considered blasphemy or abusive to either God or his followers. Most words are considered profane because of their abusive, or offensive nature.  Talking about hell, or damnation was considered abusive because it brought to light unplesant aspects of the afterlife.   This also applies to blasphemy or taking the Lord's name in vain, it is considered offensive by religous followers because it is a direct insulting use of their creator's name. Also sexual terms and phrases are often considered vular or taken out of context to produce an offense. Ah, who cares...here goes...I'll try to be polite...\nIt is usually their connotation that makes them profane:  \n"Taking a sh*t" is considered a vular expression because of it's content.  \n"Fu*k you" is also considered vulgar because the word "F*ck" implies sex because of it's origins and it's a no no to talk about sex in our Puritian society...Let alone use sex as an offensive remark.\nA$$hole is considered a rude word because, honestly who wants to be associated with being an anus?\nC*nt is a very taboo word because of it's vulgar reference to female genitalia, and feminist movement sees vulgar references as a means to demean and demoralize. Which is probably a very accurate ideal.\nD*ckhead also is a demeaning word.\nWell okay that's all I can think of..well actually I can think of a lot more, but I'll probably already be reported for this anyways...\nHave A Nice Day...
