I don't mean to offend anyone but.....
The other day I read something and at the end of it is said I hope I don't offend anyone, I know it might sound stupid but this was somewhat hurtful to me. So I asked the question if someone knows what they are going to say might offend anyone why do they say it. It is just another excuss for justifing being mean. I know that their are some instances where it is oppropiate to say this. But most of the time I really don't like it when people say this. It is kind of like saying just kidding when you really mean it. If you know that you are going to offend someone you probably shouldn't say it anyways. like of the movie Bambi "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all."

I totally agree. I really don't understand why people say it much myself. I say just kidding sometimes, but I try never to use it to justify saying something hurtful. Sheesh! There sure are lots of things to analyze in this crazy world! Love ya!
I would have to disagree sometime you may say something and not mean it to be offensive but the person takes it the wrong way. SO in order to play it safe and be on the safe side it is safer to just say "I don't mean to offend you" because you can tell if some dumb person may just up and decide that oh, this is offending them even when you did not ever even try to offend them.
