The Science of Being Offended: It's only words

I'm starting the first in what will be a series of blog posts about certain subjects. Often there are issues today that come up a lot and need to be addressed, and here they will be.

In this particular series we explore as the title suggests, the subject of offence, and how truly pointless it is on the whole it is. In this post, I found a video posted by one of my YouTube subscriptions, a guy named Thunderf00t, who often has engaging well reasoned videos on a range of subjects, and here he sums up some interesting and good points about perceptions on words that we cannot say, in this case often because of either political correctness or simply because of something as simple as culture and background. He explains this point better than I ever could, so here it is. It shows that many people are being touchy about things that we need not be touchy about. Have a watch.



I hope you enjoyed, and gained some interesting insight into this knotty issue.
