Do you think that people (mainly christians) are to sensitive?

Question

Like that whole controversy with tropic thunder and playing a retarded chracter.

and some christians are getting mad because of hamlet 2 and "rock me s**y jesus".

another song is called "you're as g*y as the day is long"

but im not offended.

so do you think that soon the only thing that we cant say anything because it will be offensive?

Answer 1

HAHA! The way this country's going? I'm sure at some point we'll have to pre-approve whatever it is that we want to say...

And I TOTALLY want to see Hamlet 2! It looks fun! =D

And as for the r****d thing in Tropic Thunder... that wasn't such a big deal for me, and no offence or anything, but would a retarded person even CARE that much about being portrayed that way?

Answer 2

Yes and no. A lot of Christians are easily offended as well as as all other religions but some aren't. Atheists are also easily offended because many of them bash other religions just because they don't agree with them. For example my friend didn't want to go with her family to Israel for vacation just because she was Atheist. She thought it went against everything she believed in because she believed in nothing.

Answer 3

If they are upset about that, theyre pathetic. Learn to laugh!

Answer 4

Yea they are. I'm a christian, and I'm not like many of them.  Seriously, this one girl I know told me that she doesn't partake in Halloween because she thinks it strengthens the devil.

Oh my goodness I couldn't help laughing at her.  

But yes, many are wayyyy too uptight.  

Answer 5

Closed-mindedness isn't limited to mostly Christians, although they often seem to have the loudest voice for their opinions.  Some people just can't take a joke if its not "politically correct."  Sad, really.

Answer 6

scientologists started that movement on this one...not christians

Answer 7

I think that it totally depends on the person and subject. Some people are way too sensitive, never wanting to offend people about things, so they end up not being able to express their opinion or take a joke lightly. There are other things thought that practically nobody is sensitive about, and they really should be (like peoples' gender identity; nobody seems to be willing to ask what pronoun to use and end up using the wrong ones)

Also, sometimes people are sensitive about things because of personal experience that we don't know about. Like, this joke I like,

What's 18 inches long and makes women scream in the night?

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome!

I really like this joke, but if somebody had a child that had died of SIDS the night before and heard that joke, they could well take offense. I wouldn't blame them.

Answer 8

I can't stand people who are really sensitive, it's so annoying people who can't laugh at themselves. Even not being able to laugh at other things even if they are kind of messed up to laugh at kind of bothers me. I'm not advocating legitimate bigotry or anything but people need to not take themselves so seriously, lighten up... >_<

Answer 9

Actually the opposite. I don't think they are sensitive enough. They are so self-righteous and hypocritical, they automatically turn their noses up on anyone that isn't a holy-roller or doesn't believe in or act exactly like them. They are extremely close-minded. They offend me.

Answer 10

not sensitive enough more likely
