I'm not sure I know what offense is. You can beat me like a slave and I wont care. I'm very conscious on other people's offense though and i hate to offend others despite how easily I manage to do so. I lack the stomach to care too much.

Once upon a time I used to get offended quite easily. I'd let things get to me which are pretty pathetic now that I think about it, at least in terms of reasoning, but I think I've managed to grow out of that phase where I reacted immediately in a manner that came off as being offended rather than taking a few moments to think about what those emotions meant.

I'd like to think I am a calm, cool and collected person, and for the most part, I can stay rational in nearly every situation I've experienced, but there are just those times when my mood happens to be lousy and someone's struck the wrong chord, unless I'm just in a mood where I don't really care. Now that I'm a bit older and wiser, I can stop myself before I blow up and think back on those times when I couldn't control my reaction.

Basically, in short, the answer is I'm not all that easily offended. :3

As for offending someone else, I don't really do much of that either unless I deem it necessary (usually when the person is acting like a jackass and needs to be put in their place). Then it can get pretty nastaayyy. :3

To be on topic:
I really don't get offended easily. It takes a lot for me to get offended. I've never been all that affected by words or insults. I think I get more grossed out or weirded out by things, more than I get upset over something that was said.

I really don't try to offend people, but I do have a bad habit of wanting the final word in a conversation or argument, and at times...I'll say something offensive if it means that I get that final word. But, that's really only during arguments, and even then, I only do it to people that I know can handle it, and wouldn't get too offended.

The very few times I do get offended, I let that person know, right away. I'm not the type to just sit on an issue and let it grow, so I confront the source. But, over-all, I'm really very laid-back when it comes to conversations, so it's very rare that I'd take offense to anything.

I usually laugh at these people that sue over the most ridiculous of things.

I take almost nothing at face value.
