Would you be offended?

No.  As long as they weren't being offensive in what they said when gossiping to others about what they believed my sexuality to be.  Most of my Friends are pretty straight shooters.  We try to not gossip over much about things concerning the group.  We tend to circle the wagons.  if she or he WERE malicious in their commentary, I would be offended by the way they talked.  Not by what they said.  And no...I'm not gay.  I'm Italian and Irish.  Very passionate people.  We do alot of hugging.  Way touchy feely races of people I come from.  Could be mis-construed.  I've had a number of gay woman come on to me.  lol   I take it as compliment, but don't take them up on the offer.  :)

A better answer would have simply shared the BIBLE's point of view on the matter and allowed the listener/reader to decide for himself what God's thoughts are on the matter. An offended person would be offended at the divine Author rather than at the answerer.\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20050715/article_02.htm

No absolutely not, it shouldn't be illegal to offend anyone.  That's freedom of speech.  I think our dialogue should be civil and sensitive, but in a democracy people disagree and are going to get offended.\n\nIf we can't offend anyone then all of a sudden we're living in a fascist state where the "offended" hold all the power over what the rest of us can say and think.

Understand that some of these answers may be offensive to some people.\n\nI'll go with answer D.

Sure, why not?  It's entertaining, and often (but not always) less offensive than a lot of what's out there.  As long as you're feeding your mind, what's the harm?

Why are you easily offended about others being offended?\n\nSee, it all has to do with view point. Another thing I notice is that a lot of people on yahoo Answers do not know how to pose questions. You can say the same thing in two different ways, one way is a questions, if you say it another it's an attack. \n\nRealize too that this isn't face to face contact, perhaps if someone was listening to you they'd realize it wasn't offensive, but we don't have that ability here.\n\nWhy not do your best to be polite, and this way you won't worry so much about anyone who has been offended.

Oh for pity's sake!  Of course it's okay.  How is declaring your pride for your nation going to offend anyone?  If someone does claim to be offended, it's only because hand-wringing liberals, who are terrified of being labelled bigots, have branded anything other than fawning deference to other cultures as racism.  If you constantly worry about causing offence to a self-pitying, thin-skinned minority, then you'll spend your life tip-toeing around people and never asserting yourself or stating your true feelings.\n\nShould you apologise for being English or supporting England?  Of course not.  There are certain people who feel resentful because their ancestors were wronged by the Empire and want the English to hang their heads in shame for ever more, but that's just revisionist nonsense.  This sort of brainless mindset would have us constantly extolling the virtues of others, while considering any pride in our own character or achievements as arrogant.  Be proud.  Fly your flag.

Of course not! It is the holiday season and if Christmas lights are put up, and seasonal items are being sold, there is bound to be some X-Mas music. There is nothing to be offended about.\n\nHappy Holidays! =)

If the job offer would help my minority group, and I got paid for it, yeah, I think I would take it. Why would you feel offended if it were something that would be a positive in both directions?

It depends on the person but as a rule of thumb it's never a good idea. Most people would feel disrespected or insecure by such a comment. I know I would.
