It's called empathy.. some of us are trying it out.. but you do you.. let the others be them.. its actually kinda easy.

Offending for no reason at all, isn't that the same as bullying? No one has the right not to be bullied? I do have my doubts. Offending when there is a valid reason someone should expect, but who determines what the reason is valid?

Ok...

We choose how we react.
Those who anger us control us.

Can't agree more. You might find this article interesting:

the term offence fits more to a physical attack, & i will hope to dodge any future ones, as i managed in the past. in case of personal verbal attacks by shallow-minded folks who are incapable to stay with a topic i'd rather call it "insult", & i will give back in a mercilessly scathing way. a different opinion (viewpoint) is just that: another facet on the multiverse of humanity. political correctness wrecked the art of open-minded & genuine communication. safe places are for brainless ninnies.

Sticks and stones..........

I think the whole "safe space" thing has mutated into something it was never intended to be.
There are some people who deserve it though.

People with disabilities for instance, they can't control their situation and their exposure to assholes who would mock them should be limited. Our president doing it on national television is an example.

People who went through being bombed in a war can be very sensitive to loud explosions, and rightfully so.
I get what you say about no place being "safe", but an effort can be made in some cases.
I agree there are a lot of pussies out there too. LOL

Especially here - freethinkers speak.

I have found it is pretty hard to offend me, people annoy me.
My problem is I have to stop myself from firing back, whether verbally or physically.
I tend to crack eggs with sledge hammers.
There is a difference between offending someone by what you say/think/believe and attacking someone. When first attacked I am gentle, after a while, well. Those people best find a safe place.

To me, being thin-skinned is being offended by someone being offended. Why not just shrug it off instead of saying, "toughen the fuck up?" Yeah, no one has the right to not be offended, but that doesn't mean you should disregard etiquette or common courtesy.

Be kind, which is kind of this athiests mantra. Being an asshole may make you feel better but does not help the situation ever, and by the way, it does not make you feel better, it just makes you more hateful. Needlessly antagonizing other makes the situation worse. A couple of good examples. Berating and denegrating the Parkland school survivors. They were recently tramatized, they should get a bit of leniency just because of the trama they recently went through. Insulting Barbara Bush, unneccesary and stirs up hate, no good comes of it. Making sihouette targets of Trevon Martin, completely and pointlessly hateful. None of these things are speaking ones mind, but inciting hate, there is a difference. Speaking ones mind is trying to get a point across, spreading hate is not.

The only way to deal with life’s problems is to think about them. Thinking will present many ideas and opposing viewpoints, and “safe spaces” prevent that from happening.

No, I don't agree. For sure you can't be totally protected from speech you don't agree with BUT theres a huge difference between speech you don't agree with and speech thats designed to incite hatred and violence.
As a society we can agree certain rules for the benefit of members of our society. We also accept that we will have sanctions against people that infinge those rules. For example, my neighbour can't be guarenteed that I won't go round and burn his house down BUT if I do then my society will take action against me. Most of us would think thats fair enough.
My society has also passed rules with the idea of discouraging me from nailing pigs heads to the doors of synagogues and mosques. I can do this if I really want to BUT they will take action against me.
These are obviously extreme examples and things that I have no actual wish to do but it kind of works on a sliding scale.
People have every right to be offended about whatever they like. YOU don't have to be bothered about their offence. But its nice to be nice and if you don't HAVE to upset somone, why would you?
