    I feel this is the male equivalent of when women are at Anne Summers parties and one says "I think I've had an orgasm" and the rest of the women say "Oh honey, you'd know if you had" and then hand her the Mega-Stim 5000 and point her to the back room.

    I was thinking the exact same (albeit less humorously). You'd know if you get the wee shiver, it's different to the relief as it's a physical shiver that goes down your whole body.

    I think it depends in the meaning of offended. Somewhat related to FliNks point, I get "offended" if I hear a racist joke. It doesn't offend me personally as I'm white but it does annoy/anger/irritate me. I don't see it as getting offended on somebody else's behalf, I just think those sort of viewpoints are disgusting and it bothers me that people like that exist.

     Some universities creating safe spaces for people, shutting down free speech and professors giving students trigger warnings before taking about something is not really equipping people for life outside of uni.

     

     

    Isn't that stuff limited to America though? They tend to take everything to the extreme. I've not heard of that sort of stuff in the UK or elsewhere.

    Also I think a lot of it is overblown by the media. One professor says one thing to one student, the media picks up on it and suddenly it's an endemic of lefty-liberal brainwashing colleges.

    Dead baby jokes are not funny. There's no nuance of humour to them at all. They're not even jokes, the only point of them is to be offensive for the sake of it. They don't offend me because they're dark and twisted, they offend me because they're the lowest form of comedy (well 2nd lowest after the big bang theory).

    I've never really understood people's issues with political correctness. Most stories of "political correctness gone mad" are false and made up by the right wing press (similar with health and safety gone mad stories). "Teachers can't sing baa baa black sheep anymore" yes they can, no teacher in the history of nursery rhymes has ever been told that. "Kids have to wear safety goggles to play conkers" nope, that was a joke by a headteachers that the papers bastardised. Political correctness is basically "don't be a cunt".

    As for people getting more offended, that's nonsense. When Little Britain first aired it was seen as so groundbreaking. Now you barely bat an eyelid. Swearing was rarely on TV. 30 years ago people used to get offended by the existence of gay people. And 20 years before that an interracial kiss on TV sparked dozens of complaints. Even now older people are more likely to complain to ofcom.

    Other people being offended doesn't give their view more right, and if you genuinely think you were doing nothing offensive then you shouldn't modify your behaviour, but is it really such a big deal to not do something that might upset you. What harm is it to you?

    I went to post in the want face thread, when I clicked into the quick reply box it pasted my previous post in there. I went to delete it but when I got to the Shorty mention it just kept lasting his name over and over. Not sure if this was an issue with my phone or the boards but was really weird.

    I had a YBR125 for about 8 months, I got this over a year ago though!

    Aren't you still at uni?

    Man, things have change so much sometimes I feel like I'm not even on Cube-Europe anymore.

    I can't quite find how I can make sure that I always see the most recent message when I open a thread as opposed to seeing the very first post.
