Things I Can Not Get My Head Around Blog II

PETS

We are very selective when choosing pets. The standard of course is a Dog. Other options are cats, parrots, hamsters, mice/mouses and fish.
But if you went to a friends home and discovered they had a duck billed platypus living in the kitchen you would think they were weird.

FOOD

Just like with pets, we are just as picky when it comes to food. The standard food options are potatoes, preferably chipped, pasta, meat such as sausages and also many various species of cheese.
But if you went to a freinds home and they served you roasted duck billed platypus you would think they were weird.

GOVERNMENT

Every couple of years we get to vote for who gets to run the country. We vote based on what candidates say and also do. Now, these people lie. There is no denying it. They promise all sorts to get your vote and when they become lord and master of the country they forget all about what they said before.
This cycle has happened at EVERY election... ever. We still go to vote though. Because, despite what the satirical new sheets say, the politicians are not the stupid ones, we are.

OFFENCE

Picture this, a man tells a joke about an Englishman, Irishman, a blonde woman and a Muslim.
A person who does not fall into these categories at all decides that the joke is offencive. Why or more importantly how can this person decide to take offence on behalf of someone, a culture, ethnicity or sex?.
In general people who throw around the "I am offended" phrase every time someone says something they do not agree with. That is it. No other explanation. Thing is, even if you were offended, so what?.
Just say if your friend had a nasty trip at work and broke a leg. Would you demand compensation from the employer, for yourself, just because you were not affected in anyway at all?. No. Exactly.
