When people can simply say that they are offended and have all sorts of 
operations thus brought to a screeching halt then you know that 
political correctness has run amok.  Some take it to the extent that 
being offended becomes offensive.  When people use these allegedly 
offensive expressions offense is often the furthest thing from their 
minds; they are not being disrespectful of anybody.  Their actions 
should be viewed in that light, and not in the light of someone else's 
self-pity.
