Remember, you can't give offence, you can only take it. If you are offended by something, you have nobody but yourself to blame.

- hugh3 16y agoThat's a fairly silly attitude to take. Once can quite easily (common English idioms aside) give offence. One can't go around being gratuitously offensive to people and then blaming them for being offended. That's called "being a dick". In this particular case, though, one would have to be extremely thin-skinned to be offended.
- burgerbrain 16y agoNobody but you can be or should be responsible for your emotions. It is entirely up to you how you respond to somebody "being a dick", not to mention that's a completely subjective thing in the first place.
