Thread Name: BS: Years 'BC' or 'AD' offensive?
Subject: RE: BS: Years 'BC' or 'AD' offensive?
As I said before, and note the first words - 'some people'.
some people get, or claim to get, offended rather too easily in many cases, imo.
It's a sort of emotional blackmail. It's a method of controlling others. It often works. it's where there is no real feeling of offence; it's more a thought disguised in the terminology of feelings.
comedians,... make a living partially thru offending.
