Exactly. Some people seem to run around all day with nothing to do but
seek
out things to be offended by.



I'm offended by people who end a sentence with a preposition.

Here, Dave, allow me to show you how an educated person writes the sentence
you butchered.

"Some people seem to run around all day with nothing to do but seek
out things about which to be offended."

I hope this helps.

didn't someone post a while back that Wilbur is a Jew? If that is
true, that raises him up a notch in my book. If it's not true, well,
I understand.

Don't look now, but that is and of itself is a racist remark.

Really? How so? I'm not putting him a racial class, although I'd suggest 3rd
grade... again.

"That is a proposition up with which I will not put."

I realize old Wilson was being facetious but there is a far better way to
express it: "I will not abide that proposition."

I hope this helps.

Yes. It demonstrates in spades that Winston [Wilson???] had, and I have,
far
better ears than you for the language.

Not to mention at least some sense of humor.



Oops! I must have been subconsciously been thinking of his Auntie.

Ofttimes a sense of humor goes a long way towards masking a lack of
knowledge.

Au contraire, a sense of humor most always reveals an insight into
knowledge.
