So, what are you sensitive about?

[HEyHEY]

I'm sensitive about three things. My weight (I could stand to lose about 30-40 pounds) and when I may be annoying someone while talking too much. As well, rejection is a big deal for me. Those are the ONLY three things I seriously can't laugh about.. I really can't.
You?

Fools, now I'll know all of their weaknesses! Wait...did I type that, or just think it?

[seriousstan]

1. Get out of here you fat cow you talk too much.

:evilgrin:

[HEyHEY]

2. So, you've proved me wrong...

[BlueIris]

33. I can't stand to be told to "shut up" either.

CANNOT STAND IT.

[enigmatic]

3. Probably my hearing..

I destroyed it by playing in bands for so long; I'm in the no-man's land between really needing a hearing aid and being able to get by w/o too much trouble..

[leftofthedial]

4. the nads

the nips

the noggin

Shut the hell up and beat it, fat boy!

Just kidding, but you kind of asked for it.

[HEyHEY]

6. I should have added...

Bother a person of Irish lineage about something that they're sensitive about... and you're likely to get yer ass kicked.

[leftofthedial]

9. bein' as I'm a third Irish meself

and a sarcastic asshole to boot, I've already got the sore ass . . .

[HEyHEY]

10. Jaysus, wit a mout and wit like dat ye must be of erin

[hfojvt]

11. so are you sensitive about the term

Paddy Wagon?
For the sake of my ancestor Patrick - I am.

Alas, I am sensitive about my weight as well. I could stand to gain 30-40 pounds, provided I could do so on my limbs and not my torso. :hide:

[HEyHEY]

13. I work in radio

I was reading a story today about a guy who's last name is "Mick"

So throughout the story I kept refering to him as "Mick"
Some of the sentences COULD have been considered using mick as a noun as in "Mic" I almost broke out laughing,

[autorank]

5. well, sometimes i'm just not as nice as i could be...

and that really upsets me, because, afterall, it IS all about me and how i feel.

[HEyHEY]

8. Gotta be a meanie? But don't they JUST haveit coming sometimes?

[autorank]

17. well, come to think of it...hmmm....well, i'm having thoughts that

upset me

:spank: them, enough of their impertinence

:freak: i'm upset by my thoughts, it's their fault

:spank: them again

:banghead: oh, i'm upset, it's their fault

here's what they have coming :nuke:

ahhhh...better

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Hi, autorank,

You've ALWAYS been nice to me...I've never had a cross word from you, and I want you to know how much I appreciate it...a LOT...

Edited to add: And you've just provided me with my 2900th post!

[autorank]

18. CaliforniaPeggy, I'm honored. I appreciate your post, a lot.

The only cross words I have are for the folks who drop into Elections and behave in an uncivil fashion. Then it's time, with the rules of DU of course, to administer some intellectual discipline.

My DU taste must be improving since I seem to run into you more.

Remember, "Pitt's luck you even know his name."

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Autorank, I am so touched by your words!

Ever since you returned to DU, and we talked then, I've had a soft spot for you...So I'm stalking you, in a friendly way, of course! I tend to talk to people I like, after all...

I am honored to know you, my dear Autorank...

[autorank]

23. ...

:blush: for a compliment from my native state.

[lenidog]

7. Off the top of my head not really anything I can think of

Now if you want to piss me off in 60 seconds flat I would say Holocaust denial is the best way to do it or being somone who beats their wife and or kids.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. If I'm feeling vulnerable, which I am now and then,

then I can be sensitive about nearly anything...But if I'm feeling strong and happy and secure, why then, I'll kick your ass! It just depends...

[NMMNG]

14. If you want to piss me off..

Diss/harass homosexuals

Harass people with disabilities

Try to deny the religious freedoms of a "non-dominant" religious group (or the rights of someone to be non-religious)


Yeah...I get a little perturbed when the rights of the underdog are trampled on....:grr:

[realisticphish]

16. weight

that's the big one. if we are discussing mutual needs (i.e., let's try losing together) that's one thing, but when it's "ha ha! you're fat" i fucking go nuts

[Tsiyu]

20. my sensitivities

I'm sensitive about them:blush:

[yewberry]

21. Yep, I'm sensitive.

Touchy, even.

*GLBT stuff. Y'see, I'm anecdotal...My mom's a big dyke. Well, okay, both of them are. And all four (yes, four) siblings are well-adjusted, unmolested straights. Geez, what's the big deal? Seriously, it's like we don't exist.

*Yes, I'm veg*n. No, like most of us, I don't bring up what you eat. Quit calling me names and making fun of me.

*I laugh too loud. I never learned to moderate laughter. At least my husband likes it.:blush:

[NMMNG]

24. Yeah, what is it that meat eaters have to harass vegetarians/vegans?

Is it their guilty consciences?

Even when I was an omnivore I never did that, and now some of my friends raise their eyebrows in that "oh boy" way...like being a vegetarian is some sort of weird thing to do. :shrug:

[yewberry]

26. I don't know.

Really, I don't even want to speculate. People (meat people) get really upset about this. Why? I don't know.

I gave up meat 19 years ago. If someone asks me about it, I'll tell them. Otherwise? Meh. Not my place.

I sure don't love being called a Nazi, though. Happens more than I like.

[LynzM]

45. There are a couple great rants on this

at www.tomatonation.com

Read the Vines and check the archives; I know she's griped about it!

[Ladyhawk]

30. Yeah, what is up with that??

I know a few vegetarians...so what if they don't eat meat? It's probably a lot healthier. I've thought of going that way myself, but I've had other things to deal with. :shrug:

I don't understand why omnivores harass vegetarians and vegans. It's stupid. I think you're right. There's a guilt component in there somewhere.

[kick-ass-bob]

41. It's your damned vegetarian-agenda threatening to destroy the

sanctitiy of marriage!!! :grr:

:crazy:
:P

[Ladyhawk]

49. LOL. :D n/t

[Crazy Guggenheim]

22. I'm not sensitive about things. But Ithink everyone has a lot

to be sensitive about .............

:hide: :hide: :spray:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. And a very good evening to you, Crazy Guggenheim!

If I were feeling a bit more intellectually sharp than I currently am, then I might ask you just what in hell you mean and get into it, nicely of course! But I've been posting all evening, and my vision and my brain are fuzzy; I'm going to bed so that hopefully tomorrow my true mental acuity returns!


Good Night!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

27. LMAO!

J/K.

:hide:

[Seabiscuit]

28. Being handsome, sexy and rich.

And having everyone but my wife hate me for it.

:evilgrin:

[Ladyhawk]

29. Too many, I'm afraid.

1) Fundies. I was raised by fundies and even though I can laugh at their stupidity, it really hurts me that they seem to be taking over right when I am starting to get rid of all that "you're going to hell if you don't love Jeeeeezus" brainwashing. Also, most of my family are fundies. It's really tough to have any kind of relationship with someone that brainwashed. :(

2) When someone goes out of their way to hurt me or someone else. I recently discovered I can pull out the big guns if I need to, but I have to caution myself not to go too far or mess with the wrong person (sociopath). I got cyber-stalked by someone who was into hurting other people. Don't try this at home.

3) Right-wingers. It's just not funny anymore. Sorry. :(

[tjwmason]

31. Only really innaccuracy or stupidity

If you wish to disagree with me - that's fine, if you want to be vehement about it - that's fine; just don't use crappy false arguments.

It actually iritates me even more when those I agree with start using crappy or false arguments to defend a position I hold - it makes the person seem really stupid, or makes them into an intellectual whore.

[bertha katzenengel]

32. roadkill

[BlueIris]

34. Want to see me explode? Insult John Kerry.

Even "this long" after the election--just: No. Mind you, I have tolerance for people who can respectfully criticize him for well, things I think it's valid to criticize him for--but I often find myself mentally berating even those folks. And when it's an unsolicited insult--like someone just spontaneously ripping him because they've noticed one of my buttons or bumperstickers? I usually have to give them an icy stare or otherwise physically restrain myself from freaking out. Otherwise, my defense of him will degenerate rapidly into something resembling, "don't nobody say nothing bad about Ms. Jenkins!!!" It's not pretty.

[BlueIris]

35. Oh, and I forgot: my skin. Not the color, the texture.

So, I don't have perfect skin, okay? Don't give it a second thought. No, seriously, DON'T. There's no need. Didn't your parents tell you it's FUCKING RUDE to point out "flaws" in someone's physical appearance? Don't recommend skin-care products to me, especially if they're prescription drugs. I've tried everything, this is how it looks. And you know, to me, the side-effects, particularly because they fucked up my whole life in some significant, permanent ways, and didn't yield much improvement, weren't worth it. If you don't want to hear about how they could also fuck up your life, or be compelled to more closely examine whether or not taking them is truly worth it to you, (you weak-willed, superficial, non-self-respecting little shit) don't get me started by insulting my skin or my intelligence or my ability to make my own personal health and "beauty" decisions. JUST FUCKING SHUT UP. Care about your own skin. And in general, GET A LIFE.

[RebelOne]

36. My age.

The thread that asks "How old is old?" sort of made my blood boil when these young kids think that 60 is old. I am past 60 and I do look, act or feel my age. And some people are amazed when I do tell them my age.

[BlueIris]

38. People posted that "60" is "old"?!

That's nice. And by nice, I mean: what jerks.

[RebelOne]

39. Yup, the person who started the thread

stated that he or she considered 60 old.

[BlueIris]

40. That's beautiful.

Moran.

[Left Is Write]

47. I'm one of those who said 60 is NOT old.

It's not. 60 is not what it once was - most 60-plus people I know are every bit as active and vibrant as the people I know in their 30s.

My parents are 66. I do not look at them and see old people.

[SarahB]

37. I'm a bastion of strength.

I have no vulnerabilities. Everything's fucking swell. :bounce: :woohoo:

[Shananigans]

42. Good question...

I'm sensitive about my weight, as well. Then again, these days, who isn't?

I am sensitive about people thinking I am not being serious enough. I joke about everything and sometimes I worry that it might be over the top...But it's me.

And...let's see. I am pretty sensitive when people bring up what a dork I was as a child. Some things you never get over ;)

[jukes]

43. what are you looking at

dickweed?

[Misunderestimator]

44. Misogyny, Racism, and Homophobia

[Left Is Write]

46. My kids.

[nevergiveup]

48. My age

I recently turned 60 and in all honesty it killed me ...... 30,40,and 50 never phased me but I did not want to be 60......I am gradually adjusting but it ain't easy.

[khashka]

50. Sexism and homophobia

I can take personal insults but sexism and homophobia send me into a white hot rage.

Khash.
