Offensive
It's okay to launch an offensive with B-52 bombers, stealth aircraft, Predator Drones, cruise missiles, tanks, guns, soldiers, etc. killing tens of thousands of civilians who get in the way.
But it's not okay to say something that others may deem offensive. Or even the flag you wave, or the motto you display.
Are you offended?
Great.
If you have the right to be offended, then I have the right to offend you. Thomas Jefferson.
And if you have the right to launch an offensive against a nation, that nation has a right to defend itself.
What is truly offensive is to twist words so that tens to hundreds of thousand, even millions and billions of people are divided and set on each others throats. This is the hallmark of a dying race.

Follow the etymology
The more aware I become of the tampering of our words, I am stunned, by what I and many others were lead to believe to be the meaning of said words. Which in fact the real meaning is in fact obfuscated. So not only do I need to struggle with my own shortcomings, but also I must struggle to remove from my own language the habitual use of words I wish to remove. Words I used all my life in ignorance, which I am struggling to over come. Hard task after using said word/s for a lifetime!
For example:
Very recently someone made me aware of the commonly used word "nice", which I discovered is not quite the compliment I had thought it to be. I think I may need to set up a "corrupted word jar" ( similar to a swear jar), where I have to put money in it, when I catch myself using one of these words I struggle to eliminate. Perhaps that will help me expedite this process? Lifelong habit is very hard to break!
We are socially engineered in too many ways. Language is absolutely one of them. Those who can control words, and meanings can control thoughts and herd societies. It is insidious! Add to that the madness of double speak/ "political correctness". That is just masked censorship. Of course with double speak for the PTSB, comes also the double standard with regards to themselves. ( Can't help but think of the entire Hebdo event. Rothschilds owns Hebdo... It's allegedly about freedom of speech? Yet the comedian Dieudonne (sp?) gets locked up? Also I recall what Carr revealed in the book "Pawns in the Game" I am just thinking out loud. Which should not become self censorship!)
To hell with political correctness. As well as all those double speak euphemisms! There is no true freedom without freedom to express ideas. Also it is perfectly fine for people to agree to disagree. Only a narcissistic monster would use language as a weapon upon others then cry "victim" when the true victim speaks truth on the matter, pointing out this insidious dynamic. To do that to actual victims protesting and calling out the slight of hand, is to be censor them in a politically (IN)"correct" arena. More like politically psychopathic.
BTW @ rbateman1, Thank you for that quote! You are correct, it is the twisting of words that is offensive!

Just found this link
Even in Russia.
Cognitive liberty is the new taboo.

! do not agree with his views; though I am a spiritual being;
I still know he has a right to not believe, just as much as anyone has a right to believe! It is self evident.
What is it about these control freaks who cannot stand it if a person has their own perspective? Are they so immature that they cannot bear that any person might see things differently from themselves? I shudder at the thought of a cookie cutter world filled with such control freaks. I would prefer a world where people are free to think, free to not be imposed on by vaccines, and free to make discoveries themselves, without a brownshirt demanding they do it their way or else! Also I much prefer a world where phones are not bugging devices and TV’s are not watching you, in what ought be the privacy of your home. It is all extension of the same dynamic, some sick powerful people who think we all ought be mindless obedient slaves, in thoughts and everything else. Do these control freaks feel fear? Perhaps that is all they can experience? Though I doubt they know love, love does not treat people like this!
We are all drowning in absurdity.

Word Spells used either intentionally or unknowingly on those of such weak minds, that those of a weak mind are easily manipulated and or controlled by their ignorance of such a simple verbal or written action. Strooooong is the dumbass that flows through their ignorant thoughts. lol!
