For the record, I do think people are offended too easily, but that's a different discussion.

Actually, that's this exact discussion.

The general public need to understand that we're not entitled to live life free of being offended.
We can discuss degrees of offensive behavior or verbiage, however, and on a scale of 1 to 10 the term "brown bag" likely falls between 1 and zero.

Yet we have a government body deem it necessary to eliminate this term from their vocabulary.
And we have some who support this decision.

They have the right to make these rules. I understand that.
But if they're not openly ridiculed then what's next? And where?
Because before too long it will be our own local politicians spouting the same stupidity.

Nah, this is about people being sensitive to what other people might be offended about.

The only thing people got offended about here was that an organization was being sensitive to what others might be offended about.

Can't please everyone all the time.
Someone is going to be offended by something.
If someone is offended by the words citizen, brown bag, dinosaurs, or Halloween - get over it.
I always find it hypocritical when people complain about the Pledge of Allegiance, but have no problem carrying US currency in their pocket that clearly states In God We Trust.

how the hell is "birthday" offensive....

get the hell over it, if your offended tough beans look the other way, its a tough world.

Soon using the terms "American", "freedom", and "patriot" and will be offensive at this rate...

So you're saying it's OK to be sensitive about being offended, but it's not OK to be offended about being sensitive?

What happens if a sensitive person has an offensive odor? Or if an offensive person has sensitive skin?

Vote for a new word: Offensitive.

It's here to stay & will only get worse until most words lose their meaning except for those officially sanctioned by the state.
There are people who make a living teaching government & corporate sectors this pc shiite believe it or not. The object is to avoid intolerance or any of the perceived "isms" by making one feel perennially awkward and unsure. What a demented ideology.
