i am a lot more offended by the fact i have a friend i have known since 7th grade and wouldn't as much offer me a stick of gum if my breath reaked of garlic and onions, that is the stuff that really chaps me. raunchy humor that borderlines shock jock, doesn't bother me at all, especially if they have already earned my trust, etc. i poke fun of myself all the time. but you know, i realize not everyone enjoys the same stuff and that is cool. but i was just making the point that because respect is so subjective, you learn what is and what isn't ok to do. if i was offended by anything my friends said, they would stop. just like if an in law was offended by the fact i have artwork displaying naked boobies on my wall, i would take it down. when you're almost 30 and most of your friends are married with kids and the subject at hand is "what will i cook in my crockpot tonight", some ridiculous forum antics becomes marginally better than cutting out coupons with my cousin in law. which mind you i actually enjoy because i am a dork, but you get me. lol.
I brand you: interesting
