I wasn't going to upgrade to S4, but now that I read this rant, makes me want to go and get one.
Every week some columnist gets on a soapbox and drones about how they are offended. Just read a good blog post about it: http://falkenblog.blogspot.fr/2013/03/taking-offense-is-not-righteous.html http://falkenblog.blogspot.fr/2013/03/taking-offense-is-not-...
"Curiously, a former definition of impoliteness has become a new focal point for all sorts of political and psychological offense. I remember Miss Manners noting that politeness has two, related, sides: not giving or taking unintentional offense. That's clearly old school. There seems to be a public bounty for perceiving slights, and lots of columnists are full-time commentators noting the latest injustice to their tribe. There's a website called MicroAggressions documenting slights felt by people who don't appreciate the guy who opened or failed to open the door for them. Interestingly, the more they talk about things, the more people get upset by people getting upset ad infinitum."
