What's the most offensive thing you've experienced?

For me, it was when my significant other bought me a peloton bike for Christmas last year. What about you?

The ending of Pink Flamingos.

@sonicare: I laughed

Trump's jiggling turkey-neck.

Have you seen his cross section? That dude is majorly obese. He needs a peloton bike.

Campsite toilet near La Rochelle, 1988.

I believe that has been sanctioned by the Geneva Convention.

It sounds to me like your significant other thinks the same way about you.

Got told that my kids and I should be slaughtered for being mixed.

That's probably the worst.

Lol. Christ, I hope so though. It's a stereotype I don't think was justified anywhere else I've been in France, but man, it was something grim: three walls of benches to squat over (or seemingly, for some folks directly on), facing each other and backing onto open gutters with zero cleaners. I'll spare the additional details but suffice it to say it's a horribly vivid memory. :(

There's nothing wrong with being mixed. My parents followed their hearts

@sonicare: He's a disgusting, gelatinous fat-body. I want to throw up everytime I see him.

@sonicare: yeah I know, I don't really let racist bother me. They are a very tiny minority here anyway. Plus I've got all the good genetics from both sides.

Weight can be a touchy subject for sure, in fact I'm working on getting my own weight down. That said, a long term future with someone (something I assume you want with your SO) requires two healthy people. Maybe they just want you to be around past your 60's.

@sonicare: Lol

@sonicare: Mixing up the forums, eh?

Diet controls your weight. Remove roughly 250Kcal a day and you're losing about a pound a week I believe.

I'm offended this is in political gamers forum and not general, but whatever.

Honestly the times I am most offended are when people disrespect other people; I like to think there's a universal, baseline respect that all humans have for each-other, and when someone voids that concept, it feels like a grand cosmic insult. Call me naive but it shocks the hell out of me, i.e. when someone steals something (especially if it's of no value, like WTF is the point?) or when a leader makes fun of the people he leads, and so on.

Also when people don't listen to me when I know what I am talking about. I hate being the "I told you so type" but when I told you to do something, you didn't do it, and now we are paying the consequences, I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO.

That's offensive.

dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmn.

Did you punch that guy in the face? I'd probably do it for you if I witnessed it.

That;s harsh, wow wow wow. Can't believe someone said that to you. Where was it? US?

@horgen: "Remove roughly 250Kcal a day and you're losing about a pound a week I believe."

Hmm, I didn't know the math on that. Thank you, that could help a lot.

IIRC it's about 3500kcal per kg or 2 pounds of body fat(I can't remember which one, as those measurement are not the same).

Nah I'm Aussie. He was just walking past. I couldn't believe he said it. I was just shocked about the whole thing. Not something you really expect.

I keep hearing Australia has a growing right-wing, bigoted, conservative movement. Sort of like the US does. This true?

I’m offended every time I’m at work when I witness irresponsibility.

No, it's very rare, it's either old people or products of racist. There are the groups of teens that think they are tough and call themselves racist, but they happen every gen and most are only in it for something to do. Most right wingers i've met aren't bigoted, maybe to the muslisms but that's something I can't comment on. Most right wingers I've meet just want people to assimilate into our culture which is understandable since our culture is very anti-PC, if you can't take a racist joke you won't do well here and it's the same with everyone even if you're white. That's not saying they cannot still have their own culture. I will disclaim I am a centrist. I do share some opinions with them.

Might be the time I babysat my nephew, took him to a playground and anxious moms called the cops on me for sitting on a bench and paying attention to him.

Not gonna do that again.

Not to defend those moms if they called the cops due to some type of prejudice, but if they say your nephew there frequently and then suddenly see him being accompanied by some man they never saw before maybe they thought you were someone unrelated to him with nefarious intentions?

I'm not saying you were and I obviously don't know the whole story, but just going by what you posted that would probably be the first question I would ask. If you explained the situation and they called the cops anyway then that's a different story.

Hmm....so other playground adults should you know the entire family/neighbor/friends of every child visiting? Please.

Yeah, I'm offended by people who call the cops the instant they see something they think is suspicious rather than talking to that person to find out if their suspicions are correct.

Someone explaining that one rape doesn't actually make a person a rapist. They believe that the "ist" implies more than one, so basically the first one should be a freebie. They didn't say freebie exactly, but that the person shouldn't have to be on the sex offenders list. Was defending a friend of theirs.

Where did this happen? If I might ask. Like in the city or out in the countryside?

Nothing- only weaklings get offended.

A Town that's in between two larger cities here in Norway.

It was a playground I went to a lot as a kid so it's in the middle of a residential area I grew up in and is a slight walk from where I currently live.

Overall the cops did realize that it was mistake and there was nothing nefarious going on once they had a chat with me and my nephew but even so I would've figured that whoever called could've asked some questions first rather then assume the worst from the get go.

Glad it went well.

Whoever called could have observed more at first as well.

Doctors telling me my health problem are in my head because they can't figure it out they can go F themselves.

Nothing wrong with asking the question, since context could be a contributor in why they called the cops even if the people that called them were 100% in the wrong. For example, there’s a difference between someone calling the cops because there was a kidnapping in the neighborhood a week prior and someone calling the cops because they tell their friends and family in private that people with a certain skin color or lifestyle don’t belong here.

Also LJS, depending upon the neighborhood you’re in the neighbors may actually know the entire families of the kids that go there on a regular basis. That concept may be alien to people that live in huge cities where hundreds, if not thousands of kids use the same playground every week but common to people in small towns that may have at most a dozen kids using the same playground.

I get what you're getting at but this was the first time my nephew visited the playground since he lives quite a way from where I live, and the first time since I was a teen that I visited the place.

And had they approached me first then I'd probably still get a little annoyed but I could've at least explained that I was his uncle and was babysitting him until his father's overtime was finished some hours later. ( His mom is a nurse that works nightshifts and she had to come in earlier then normal that day.)

But in this case it seemed like some moms saw me sitting on a bench watching kids playing on a playground and their mind instantly judged me as "predator" on that basis.

And while I don't disapprove of being wary about others, It's not exactly fun to be on the receiving end even if I can sort of understand their point of view. Which is why I ain't gonna do that again and instead I'll just put on a Disney movie or something for him the next time I'm asked to babysit.

Meatless burgers.

@npiet1: Firstly everyone is mixed to some degree. Secondly, the more mixed you are the stronger your genetics!

So if someone says something like that to you, just laugh. It’s incredibly funny that they think stronger genetics is a bad thing!

Well said, woke culture at large is what offends me the most currently

The blatant hypocrisy and outrage. The people that call people nazis who disagree with them.

These people, cant stand these weirdos

I once saw two ladies get married and kiss in a hallmark commercial. My eyebrows caught on fire and I nearly died.

@jeezers: "Basically, I want to have conversations about why Ariel shouldn't be black, but I'm too racist to talk about it which blows my mind cause Disney making her black is ignorant and racist, yet called racist for talking a bout something racist. Want to talk about why Peleton bike is stupid shit ever, but too sexist/misogynist cause I'm not delusional bubble that makes me see the world in twisted way. And want to say why Supergirl should wear a skirt or judge a woman in beauty contest, but too much of an incel/loser/toxic man to talk about it, cause all women are powerful and beautiful how dare I saw a girl would look better in different hair or different clothes."

You can absolutely have those conversations. Make some threads on those topics if you want. We're just not obligated to stroke our beards and agree with you.

@mattbbpl: you responded to the wrong person i believe

Not to be a dick, but it's reassuring to know that this shit happens outside of the US, too, and it's not just our batshit crazy moms that do it.

Anyway, similar thing happened to me. It sucks but it's something to laugh about later, like "Oh hey remember that time people thought I was a kidnapper or child molester? HAHAHAHHAAHHAHAH!"

Thank god you are OK. Hopefully you wrote them a stern letter and got conservative groups to promote civil rights abuses.

I did, my apologies. It was a response to @saltslasher.
