I believe that we should all be free to say whatever we want, whenever we want without regard to who might be offended by what we say. TMBR

This ignores that people WILL have reactions to your words, whether you think they should or not.

Not true at all.

I'm acknowledging that they'll have reactions. However unlike you and so many others, I'm not accepting the idea that these reactions are automatic and uncontrollable and unchangeable.

It may be a personal belief that people shouldn't and should just shrug them off, but it's not a practical thing ... as our world does not work this way.

It CAN work that way - that's why I'm suggesting. Your statement implies that I don't live in the world or that I'm somehow living in a fantasy. Stop assuming that. I live in the world just like you do and I realize that most people have reactions. You're missing the point of this thread.

We as a society encourage that sort of automatic behavior with statements like "that's just the way the world works". This ignores the very real fact that these are learned behaviors. Well we can learn different behaviors.

People assume that if you're saying something in a manner that they find offensive, that generally you have little respect for them, that group, or in general. This causes people to re-evaluate how they treat you, agree with it or not, it's the reality of the situation.

I realize this. Get out of the educational mode you're in trying to tell me and educate me of how the world works and look at the drivers how how this world works. How are these things learned by babies who don't come into the world innately knowing when to be offended and when not to. Look at how so many people are on autopilot and start asking if it's possible to change these things? If so how? Well one way is that it starts with you.
