Patrick's Place

Saturday Sunday Six

1. Which of the following two would you find more offensive if you saw it out in the open in a family restaurant: two men holding hands or a woman breast-feeding a child? Why?
Neither. Truthfully. I can't be bothered to be offended. I'd probably be more offended by anyone who started being offensive in response.
2. Which of the following would you find more offensive if you heard someone say it: a blond joke or a racial joke? Why?
Racial joke. My (blonde) niece is the only one who still tells me blonde jokes.
3. Which of these would you generally consider more offensive: An atheist who badmouths Christians, or a Christian who badmouths atheists? Why?
I don't like people who badmouth others for their beliefs, especially if they don't take the time to really understand and respect other points of view. Period.
4. Which of the following ideas about a presidential hopeful would you find more offensive: that a woman shouldn’t run for president because a woman doesn’t belong in the White House, or that a black man shouldn’t run for president because a black man doesn’t belong in the White House? Why?
I think we've established that I am going to be offended by gross generalizations like this, irregardless.
5. Which of the following political terms or movements would you find the most offensive: "Pro-Life" or "Defense of Marriage"? Why?
Aren't these both the same movement? I mean, really, it is the same demographic, isn't it? People who think they get to make the rules for everyone else.
6. Which of the following forms of protest are you likely to find most offensive: an animal rights group’s members shedding clothes to encourage people not to buy fur, or a war protest group’s members burning the American flag to criticize war policy? Why?
Oh, for heaven's sake...I guess burning the flag, but only because of the inherent danger of setting other stuff on fire.
