Zumba changed my wife

[ongakgak]

This is a bumper sticker I saw today.

Pretty pathetic isn't it?

I don't think you can make the steps from my brother, ergo calling your mate a cunt (is that the word?) offensive.

I think I made that point a few posts back,, private interaction with known and trusted friends could be different from that in public.

squeaky toy thick skinned you may well be, but your post makes me sad and wonders how you would feel if it were your daughter?

the imagined offence is not imagined- I took offence. Perhaps I stand alone. I am OK with that.

My stepdaughters are both very capable of giving as much as they get. The would not get upset, they would give a retort.

Zumba is shit and not hard

why should they have to squeaky? It is so tedious that it is OK for stuff like this to happen, and for the response to be, yeah well I can handle it, so no problem. I just don't think that is a solution.

hehe, not cunt.

But worse in that they would be considered very sexist and derogatory terms on MN, and I suppose we must have said them in front of other people, perhaps even including them in the blanket banter.

If it comes down to predicting whether one person might possibly take offence at something you've said, then perhaps squeaky's right and MN better be taken offline as there's nothing left to say.

I've always wondered how someone who feels offended by something a lot of other people don't find offensive, deals with any offence their being offended causes?

valliumlate I have reported you, shame you felt you had to make a personal attack in what so far has not been a particularly heated or nasty debate.

why should they have to squeaky?

Because they are not pathetic politically correct whingers who are incapable of telling the difference between a joke and an insult.

zigzag I tell you there is a lot of cats bum face from me, but I am not a joyless misery guts, and tend to let a lot of these things in RL slide over me, and get on with having a life. I vent on MN, that is where I can let it out, and get a measure of what others think.

Also your post has made me go a bit crossed eyed!

Snakes you're obviously not going to the right Zumba class!

Bahaha for you reporting vallium for telling you to lighten up and that she finds you 'fucking humourless'

You reported me?

Quod erat demonstrandum - I rest my case!

Hope you feel better - it's certainly given me a good snigger before bed!!!

Had to, it is the swearing bit I find most OFFENSIVE

I am leaving the thread now, as it has started to implode. 4 pages is pretty good though, I am impressed.

See you on the boards.

You find the swearing fucking offensive?

Well fuck me sideways!

Night night you little ray of joy!

you were offended by the word "fucking".....

Ooooooo latin at whatever o'clock it is

I'll guess at a translation of 'you've just proven my point beyond doubt'?

Yes, swearing is outrageous.

Quod erat demonstrandum? Means - 'that which was to be proved' - so yes, your interpretation is absolutely right zigzag

x-post, no swearing either?? You're on the wrong forum aren't you?

Isn't the joke based on the fact that Zumba goers get quite evangelical and devoted to it. It's like a religious conversion - 'Zumba changed my life' not 'i went down 2 dress sizes' or whatever.

Yep Himalaya that is exactly what is is derived from. :)

it is

Blimey I go out for a couple of hours and it all kicks off!!
