Well, if you’re offended, that changes everything
I get offended when people say that.
That phrase is almost always a way to avoid having a rational discussion.

I get offended by people saying they get offended by me being offended by their offensiveness.

“I’m offended that you would ask me to pay union dues.”
“I’m offended that you think that joking about murdering and raping Tea Baggers is appropriate work-place banter.”
“I’m offended that people of a protected minority class get to take 3 hours off every Friday to lunch with their buddies while the rest of us would be subjected to formal discipline for taking off 1 minute beyond the allotted 30 minutes for lunch.”
I’m not hoping or expecting rational discussion at this point; I’m hoping to reach a shred of human decency and shame.

This offends me:
“Mace, 47, considers herself middle of the road on gun rights.”

It’s just another overused phrase in our vocabulary diminished world, along with “tragedy” (lots of things are unfortunate, very few are tragic), critical (many things are subjectively important, but not actually vital to the continued existence of a person/process/thing), and impossible (many things are unlikely, unwise, or difficult, but completely possible). “Offensive” should really be “unpleasant” in most cases.

“Oh Really? I’m offended by the presence of idealogically weak faggots…”

junyo, well put. And “key”: everything is “key” now. It’s never “the key to” anything, just “key.” It’s not really wrong-wrong, just puts blackboard under my fingernails.
And warning you that photos may be “graphic.” Hello; that’s why they call them photographs. Can’t one simply say “dismemberment”?
I’d like to have a red-flag herald (as under the Locomotive Acts) to precede me into meetings and announce that “Viewers are Strongly Advised.”

That offends me. . . has seemingly replaced, “What’s your problem?” Emblematic of a society headed down the pacifist road.
What is Sarah Palin’s problem, though?

I think it is because Liberals are too easily offended–and by too many things. . .values, success, faith, strength. . .

I’m offended that you’re offended! Being offended is so offensive!
