How offended should I be?

[DaShi]

Also, you missed her Holocaust reference in the first conversation.

[Combat Ingrid]

Ask her if all her children have moved out. When she says "yes", you tell her "all my mom's children have also moved out and maybe there's a correlation there, you know, with mothers having trouble coping with their empty nests". *brief pause* "No offence".

[dannubis]

"Hitler was a despicable exucse for a human being"

"No offence"

If that isn't a conversation ender than i don't know...

[Lorizael]

Ask her if all her children have moved out. When she says "yes", you tell her "all my mom's children have also moved out and maybe there's a correlation there, you know, with mothers having trouble coping with their empty nests". *brief pause* "No offence".

My girlfriend said I should have simply asked if her if she, too was the youngest sibling.

Ask her if she's fond of 'Triumph of the Will' and 'Cabaret' . For the wrong reasons.

Inquire if she knows the words to the Horst Wessel song...

[Al B. Sure!]

I missed the 'Hitler-loving' part.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Man, you take offence easily.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

I wonder how many images of Gefilte fish I'd need to post before Lori explodes?

[Lorizael]

Err, Laz, I've stated on more than one occasion that my beliefs, ancestry, relationships, etc. are fair game on Apolyton. It just amazes me when I encounter such enormously tactless people in real life.

[Al B. Sure!]

Someone makes a terrorist joke every day of my life

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Yes, but that's making a special concession for Poly. The fact that you're taking offence about it in any social setting at all indicates your skin is thinner than Kate Moss's labia minora.

[Al B. Sure!]

Relax. The kid just turned 26. He's still in his high school 'the-whole-world-is-against-me-argh!!!!' angsty phase.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Take "let's call her Lyndon", for example. In your position I'd have interpreted her comments as indicating that she's a bit sympathetic, awkward and sad, not trying to belittle you.

And the "Hitler-loving" incident was just ridiculous.

[Al B. Sure!]

I think I missed the 'Hitler-loving'. I remember a "I'll never forget those nice Jews that made me an omelet when I didn't want to eat lox", but I don't remember the Hitler-loving. I did a word-search in that other thread for Hitler and came up with nothing. Did you make up the Hitler-loving?

[Al B. Sure!]

Wait. Is Lori going all ADL on us and getting offended by and calling everyone an anti-semite?
