Oooh, skank. I wish I were fun enough to deserve that.

Re: Why do people get offended ?
True story: A friend of mine, actually a mentor in graduate school was in a meeting at a user facility. Basically, a bunch of people getting together to see who gets to run experiments in the next quarter. He's from Dublin, graduate school in the US, and at that time was a postdoc at a university in Wales trying to get time at a facility in England. He and a guy from an English university were fighting over access on one beamline, and the English guy says "You Americans are all so self-important."rorybbellows wrote:Hey I'm Irish, now I am offended.benhall.1 wrote: The lazy, dunderheaded, Scottish piper. ]
My buddy replies, "I'm not American, I'm Irish!"
His boss elbowed him and said, "You're not helping."

What are the circumstances? I dunno about others, but your question is meaningless to me unless there are circumstances.rorybbellows wrote:Say I call you a lazy drunk, you may get offended ,but why? Either you are a lazy drunk and I am telling you the truth ,so why get offended or that I am telling lies so why would you get offended that I am a liar?
