Many people do not feel alive untill they have felt offended. People who go out of their way to be offended are trouble from the outset... Nothing like Meth and Alcohol to spice up a conversation... Patriotism mixes volitilely with these substances, and if you throw in a little religion, ...look out! Why do people spoil for a fight? Well, maybe they just recently lost one... I have witnessed offense being taken to most anything one could think of...

Really, though the need to fight for something is rather banal, it would appear that leaning against the status quo can bring about positive change... But change makes people nervous, and irritable people take offense easily...
"Whether we give offense or take offense,... just as much pain is brought into the world"
