  • Yeah, a little bit! You never know what will set some people off!
  • I've given up caring.
  • I can honestly say that I am never afraid to speak my mind. I can always walk away from someone who gets offensive or defensive. I just feel that I am entitled to my opinion. If they don't like it, tough. But then.....I have been known to be a little opinionated.
  • On AnswerBag, I am authentically myself. I am honest, and if someone doesn't like it, they can bite me. Haha. In real life however, it is a different story. I am only blunt with the people I love and trust the most. With others, I choose my words to try not to offend because I have a deep fear of being injured physically (or killed) by strangers because of certain childhood **** that I haven't worked through yet.
  • I say what I mean and I mean what I say and the nutters can kiss my rump.
  • The Chief fears no-one. If they don't like it, they can lump it.
  • I'm not afraid to say it, but I have felt guilty after saying it before. Oh well, what's done is done :) lol
  • I'm used to people not liking my opinion. Screw 'em.
  • i choose not to live in fear. it does not serve me. i just speak my peace. as for the lunatics ~ i think we all have a smattering of mad. some folks are just way nuttier than others. the dangerous ones are those that dont recognize their lunacy because their judgment is completely affected by their affliction. i give the total looney tunes a wide berth. everybody else just gets the plain truth from me. if theyre offended ~ that is their problem. it is never my intention to offend, and i do my best to be respectful to others. but im not going to be concerned if a nutcase is offended by something i said. that would be akin to joining them in their lunacy. no thanks.
  • Depends on my mood. Sometimes I am skillfully tactful.....but most of the time people can just duck sick if they can't handle an opinion that does not agree with theirs. You simply can't live your life trying too hard not to offend. Some people are just looking to be offended and will accuse you of somehow "thinking" something negative no matter what you say.
  • I state what I believe. Someone, somewhere is always going to disagree with me. Some of them are going to react excessively and rudely. Sometimes I have expressed an opinion that is very controversial, which is guaranteed to elicit that reaction. Well, that is what the unsubscribe button is for.
  • I speak my mind and let others deal with it.
  • Honestly, I'm not afraid at all. If I say something someone is offended by, I would just say I didn't mean to offend them, and if they are still pissed at me then it's their problem not mine. Life's too short to worry about offending people on accident.
  • Anyone who believes they can make everyone happy is very naive. I have developed a very strong Power of Ignore that helps a lot.
  • It's a major reason I left AB over 2 years ago. I'm back with a thicker hide and a more cynical attitude. +3
