gee - I live in a country where people will make fun of me , despise me and discriminate against me because :1) I eat meat
2) I don't eat meat
3) I am overweight
4) I am underwieght
6) I am too tall
7) I am too short
8) I dress funny
10) my hair is too long/too short
etc etc etc etc. If we avoid every subject that may offend anyone, there isn't going to be any conversation or communication left.
NOTE: I am not trying to trivialize anything here, but INTENT DOES need to be taken into consideration.
