Funny Pics II: The Revenge


Recommended Posts

People are done a disservice when told there are no pebbles, no thorns and no chill winds. I frequent an online dictionary that - once upon a time - would generate all definitions of any entered word; now, certain terms are hidden under the labels "DEROGATORY", "OFFENSIVE" and "VULGAR" (necessitating an additional click). Even "dog", in the context of an insult (i.e., a contemptible man), is tucked away because it might cause offense. Silly.

In everyday life, I agree - everyone is too easily offended and unnecessarily coddled nowadays it seems.

 

On a moderated message board however, we're essentially playing in someone else's sandbox...so probably better safe than sorry.
