I like it! :D. It reminds me of the time when the Simpsons visited Australia.
That said, I belong to at least two cultures. In one of them being offensive is often punishable. In another, being offended is seen as a sign of weakness and immaturity.
When I was younger, I'd often get offended easily - I'd be endlessly frustrated by the things that people whom I considered close had said to me.
As I've grown older, I've come to appreciate the latter culture.
- em-bee 8y agoin my culture i am taught to avoid doing anything that might offend others, but also to not take offense at anything that others are doing or saying. for example, i don't use swearwords in my language, but i'll silently ignore if you use them. (and they don't even make me uncomfortable) or in tech terms (paraphrased from the SMTP RFC i think): be strict in what you send out, but be tolerant in what you accept.
