I have to whole heartedly disagree. It is very easy to give offence, one only has to intend to offend. (you doos) ?
OK, my example is more tongue in cheek and certainly not intended, but you might get the picture. We have a culture that requires manners. Which tend to be forgotten.
ha ha, in fact that statement is even more offensive if said to someone who has just been offended. It's like saying, "calm down." to an angry person
