When someone gets offended by something so petty. I generally crank it up to offend them for real.

It doesn't offend me, but then I'm an Old and am harder to offend than the Snowflake Generation.

Family is everything!

Life is precious. We don’t have forever. We have now. This moment. We can choose to love our lives now.

How could any man vote on whether they are offended by a term that is used to describe a girl?
