But I do think about it but until this week never said anything.
I took my nephew to the dentist and the dentist had FOX News playing on the TV in the waiting room. A waiting room is not like a store where I can be and out quickly. It is a place where I am forced to wait for long periods of time to see the dentist (or doctor). I was a bit offended and I told the receptionist after 10 minutes "I don't mind waiting but I would rather not be subjected to right wing racism and ranting while I am waiting". I asked if the channel could be changed and, to my surprise, she handed me the DirecTV remote and told me to put it on what I wanted!
Well beings there were 2 other people in the waiting room, I did not choose the Speed Channel but I did change it to CNN Headline News. I think everybody appreciated that! BTW I know I mistyped dentist but I cannot edit the headline.
Took My Nephew To The DENITIST And I Was OFFENDED!

Why don't people ever get offended over the truly offensive things in this country anymore?

Cable network news? .. Epic Fail.

Dude .. sounds to me like you've got way too much time on your hands if you are worried about what might be on the cable TV in the Doctors Office ..

Just sayin'

Can someone please post the difference between liberals and conservatives for KevK, I lost my copy. You know the one about if a conservative is not religious he does not go to church, if a liberal is not religious he tries to stop everyone from going to church, that one.

I am getting tired of posting it on here but I guess as long as liberals complain about their rights being trampled I need to remind them.

OK - say you've got 10 people in the waiting room where Fox News is playing on the TV. Of the 10, maybe 5 are actually watching, 4 aren't paying attention, but the desires of the "1" person offended takes precedent over the others?

This is called "entitlement", and it describes the liberal mentality perfectly. And it is EXACTLY what is wrong with this country today.

Offended by something you saw in a Doctor's office?
Change doctors.
Offended by something you saw in a public place?
Stay home.

We disagree. No hard feelings.

I can understand why you only want to hear your own propaganda.

You seem to base your conclusions on a pretty low standard of evidence. Food for thought...

Is there something wrong with you??? Are you actually expecting some left winger to be capable of thinking outside their box?
