I am offended said no great man

[Faulkner]

I ran across a quote today I found interesting. Lou Holtz once said, "Don't tell your problems to people; 80 percent don't care and the other 20 percent are glad you have them." Unfortunately, Lou may be out of step with our whiny age but I find myself agreeing with him.

Seems folks these days want to let you know about every issue they have, every “microaggression” and every time they’re offended. It’s a bottomless sea of discontent. Worse yet, this generation of complainers never seems to blame themselves for their own problems. You know, life is often not fair, you gotta deal with it.

When the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'.

Well, that's what they used to say when I was a kid and someone felt "offended".

Love the Allman Bros song of old:
Dont Tell Me Your Troubles.
Alway came to mind when confronted by complainers.

Ever notice that the groups who take offense the most commit the most offenses?

It illustrates how good things really are when you consider the petty things people get offended over.

It is going to be interesting to see how these millenials take care of us older folks,,,

When someone tell me their problems, I ask what have you done to change things. Being offended is normal today.

 

[finesse_r]

If I wanted to hear other people's problems, I would hang out a shingle and get paid $150 every 50 minutes for doing so. Just as 1 inch lumber is not but 3/4 of an inch thick, a counselor's hour is only 50 minutes.

I am so glad of that, as life has been unfair primarily in my favor. I'm dealing with it pretty well....

...Karma means that if you treat someone badly, they probably deserved it...

...and that you will probably get similar treatment, because now you've done something to deserve it too.
What goes around comes around....

I'm offended that I got no dessert.

 

[UncleEd]

I'm offended by this thread and I think the moderators should
chastise the OP.

 

[westy39]

I don't have time to be offended, I have to work so the government can give my tax money away to those who don't want to work. It's the way I was raised, so I just keep working. As a wise Lt. once told me if some people spent as much time working as they did b****hing they would be the best Officers/Detectives the PD ever had.

 

[Vulcan Bob]

I rather hate to say it but I do think that our society has had it too good for too long. Sometimes I think I can hear the barbarians sharpening their swords.

 

[Kanewpadle]

im offended because people hate my Glock.

 

[chud333]

It's the age of everybody gets a participation trophy so
nobody gets left out or feels like they lost.
While in reality in life you are gonna win some and you
will most certainly lose some.
The current PC state does not prepare folks for the real
world out there.
Some of these little kiddos are going to be sorely disappointed
when their eyes are opened.
