Politically Correct – You Have OFFENDED Me
That line simply gives you too much power. Therefore, I refuse to accept that line. I’m not going to allow you to offend me, because I can choose not to be offended by what you say. The reality.
Life is what you make it and no matter how difficult you choose to think that is, it’s still your choice.
Over the past several weeks, I’ve heard several people say, “What you said, offends me.” When I ask them to point out what I said that offended them, they referring to statements referencing my own personal beliefs. What I believe offends you? Why would you give me that much power over your emotional well being?
In the course of living a full and well managed life, I’ve found many people in my circle of friends believe that we must attempt to be politically correct in our language. I refuse. At the tender age of 49, I’ve figured out that I probably don’t really care what other people think of me – so why would I attempt to please them by speaking in a politically correct manner.
The reality is:
- I don’t care if you’re gay or straight, I don’t want to hear about your sex life. If that statement offends you, perhaps you’d better figure out if you’re gay or straight to please ME, and if you figure that out, and you are — find a different, better reason for your sexual gender choice.
- I don’t particularly care if you’re religious or not. I’ll pray for you either way. It’s up to the Holy Spirit to fix your sinful self, not me. If that offends you, I’ll pray for you anyway. Yes, I pray in Jesus name.
- If you send your children to public school and they’re doing well, Congratulations! I home school my children and they’re doing great, too. Thank you for asking. No, I’m not afraid they’ll be psychotic killers because they aren’t properly socialized into little government clones.
- I don’t care what color your skin is. I won’t vote FOR you for that reason, and I’m not voting against you for that reason. I simply don’t give a rat’s backside what color your skin is, skin color is absolutely NOT a reason to give you special privileges.
- I believe it is my right to carry a gun, whether or not I do is none of your business. Deal with it.
- I kill flies, mosquitoes, snakes and ground hogs. If you have a problem with that, you must be a snake, a ground hog, a mosquito or a fly. No there is not a humane way to kill a rattle snake. Any way you do it, he’s still going to be dead.
- I drive a gas guzzler, use the a/c, and sometimes fart in public. I say excuse me, but it still stinks. My feet are big and I have a HUGE foot print. I figure if Al Gore can live in a 5000 square foot home and hire three maids, I can live in a nice house and be cool in the summer.
- I own my own business and I don’t hire illegal aliens. I don’t care what language you speak. I figured out that taking Spanish in high school doesn’t mean I have to speak it for your convenience. I’m an American, I speak English.
- Sometimes my jeans and my shirt clash, but I’m comfortable so deal with it.
- Just because you have a lot of money doesn’t make you better than me, or anyone else. It just means you can pick up the tab more often, or not. It’s still your choice. But don’t think picking up my tab means you own me – I’m not for sale.
Those are ten of the ways I’m not politically correct, and if that bothers you – SORRY, you’ll have to leave a comment and see if you get results. How you respond to what I believe isn’t my problem. It’s yours. I don’t have enough power over you, nor do I want enough power over you to offend you. I’m only saying what I believe, take it or leave it, I assure you, I won’t be offended.
Yes, as a matter of fact, someone did piss in my wheaties today, and I’m pissing back.

I agree. Jesus didnt care what people thought of him. He was concentrating on what he had to do. That is the example i try to follow cause i love Jesus with all my heart. He was’nt worried of the latest clothes or the latest product on sale. His Concentration was to get people to save people from themselves.
Thank you Janet. Finally someone understands that being popular, or fiting in all the time is not important.
