Of course once you get offended, then you need to defend yourself, and being defensive usually ends up being a big waste of time.
It's only when they get past their defensiveness that people get to the root of what offended them -- attachment. |
This is very true. Your article on religion (and a few others) take on the style of Randy Gage who has pretty much branded himself as the "in your face" guy. If anybody thinks Steve's article on religion was offensive, read Randy Gage's. Your jaws will drop never to be picked up. He even wrote a book called "Why you are Sick, Broke and Stupid", and he's still rakes huge speaking fees. Go figure eh? I think deep inside people like somebody that will tell them what others aren't willing to. Same reason people pretend to hate Simon Cowell yet they won't stop watching American Idol.
