Thoughts on "Social Justice Warrior" Branding

[J.R.S.S.]

This issue confuses me in the way that I don't see how people are "offended". I don't get offended. I don't, and I suppose can't, take anything personally (I suppose that's the way to put it).

Example: I've been vegetarian now for eight years and I would very much like to see the eating of animals be done with. At the very least, the unnecessary torture in animal farms that most meat comes from. So lets say one day I'm eating lunch when someone comes over to me and they begin eating a ham sandwich, and then they start talking about the deer they shot the other day. No, I won't get angry and start telling him how "immoral" that is and why it needs to stop. That's his lifestyle and I have no intentions of changing it. Do I agree with it? No. But that doesn't mean I become offended because he is different minded then myself.

That outcome would occur in any situation. If someone tells me that I'll fail in everything I'm doing, that's fine. I could care less what others may think and know, or in most cases, think to know.

“You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.”
Basically how I view everything. This is exactly how I would view the example I gave above.

As a thinker, feelings hold very little ground for me. There is just no place for such things as being offended.
