What do 'you' think?

...long time reader, first time poster...

Not offten I feel compelled to write something but I am getting a little frustrated at peoples lack of qualification before they write something on all these sorts of headlines.

What I mean is, people seem to be so concerned with what 'other' people might think rather than what they themselves think.

Is it a protective instinct - do we think, "oh no, there must be people offended somewhere out there so I should speak up on their mortified behalf"

Or like me. "I don't feel strongly about this at all, I guess if someone else is offended they will say something if they feel they want to."

However I get the feeling that the majority of the people who shout blue murder are not the ones who are actually offended but the protectors.

Lets worry about things we feel strongly about ourselves, and not simply empathising with those unknown 'hurt' people.
