At my school we call the Gr. 9's midgets and I could see how that could be offensive, but just in general I think it's a pretty legitimate term

Words like midget, retarded, autistic, cripple, and all the rest are not inherently offensive terms.

Offense is never given, only received.

Those 6 year old butthurt fricks on the internet that can't stand people hating on their favourite franchise!

You know, the ones that make up 75% of IHE's YouTube comments.

Well, if someone's hating on something you like, of course you won't agree with them. Still they shouldn't be so butthurt about it.

Sorry, I know I'm probably just being baited here, but I just have to ask: When does ANY part of human communication work solely one way or the other, let alone offense?
I agree with your first point technically, but it seems that there are very few circumstances in which using most of those words in knowing spite of more accepted alternatives in society doesn't show an intent to be offensive.

Not trying to start a war; just genuinely curious.

Context is what matters so it could go either way.

... You know, there's a reason to why people are educated as children and why everyday life has rules (be it an Internet forum like this or just society in general) and why certain manners are not tolerable at all, and this includes teasing, harassing, or using extreme flame / cuss words.

Calling the lower graders "midgets" is a totally unnecessary and awful way of making fun of them.

There's surely enough controversial cases where one side takes offense that the other side didn't mean to give, but you act like being offended would always be a matter of being sensitive, which it isn't for sure.

My internet has been going weird for a few days. I have no idea as to why, it works fine at first but just from one minute to another it's becoming a lot slower, or even hangs completely until plugging it out and in again.

Could this be due to any websites on the internet, or any downloads (especially from here)? My mom claims stuff like that as an explanation and I'd like to know about it, because I find it rather untenable, if your TV conks up it's also obviously not due to any indecent programm you may have watched.

Yeah, but your TV is just showing video and playing audio. It's not running arbitrary programs sent by the broadcast. Web pages these days send huge amounts of JavaScript code that automatically gets executed by default in most browsers.

It's impossible to tell at a distance if this is actually your problem, but it's certainly possible for a Web page to slow down your system with the JavaScript code it sends to your browser. That's of course only if you have JavaScript enabled, and don't have NoScript blocking the scripts. Such JavaScript is unfortunately common, actually.

What I would primarily suspect is some kind of unauthorized malware, though. On Windows, you can get that either from visiting the wrong Web page (again, JavaScript), or by opening the wrong email attachment (either JavaScript or Microsoft Office macros), or by running a random program downloaded from the Internet without checking its integrity (plain old trojan horse).

Well, each time the router is re-plugged in, it runs smoothly again, and then sometimes it just goes down ape shit. Interestingly I cleared all of my Firefox data one or two weeks ago. Also, with your hypothesis, it won't fix the problem with just closing the browser, or will it?

It depends. Again, it's impossible to properly diagnose the problem from a distance. But one example of a case where closing the browser could halt problems caused by unauthorized malware is adware designed to embed itself into the Web browser.

The fact that I can't comment with my YouTube account because my Google account is in some kind of domain that blocks Google+ and since Google+ is required to do pretty much anything on YouTube I can't comment which pisses me off so hard! Also, I know that I could just use another profile, but then I would lose all the people I subscribed to and my recommendations!

I hate Hitron. It keeps on corrupting my Bing search engine, which is super annoying

That if you forget something relatively important and you only realize it once it's too late.

I swear I h a t e it when someone seems so interested when asking you a question and then they stop paying attention to you when you're about to answer their question. -_-

The things that p***ses me off are:

1. -A guy who shows and acted shot at me.

• -Disturbing images.

• -A very disturbing dream(I hope this is not the only thing happens in my life)

• -Someone calls me "idle". Even though,my family don't know that word.

Well, you can never be sure about what's going on in the other person's mind. It's often possible that they stop "paying attention" for reasons other than not caring about you and your words. Don't judge too quickly.

True that, but I guess in my case it's usually the people that make fun of my attention span that I usually have this problem with. My bad for not clarifying lol

Either way it's disrespectful imo

It does not really matter what the reason is, it is still annoying and rude.
