Yeah people are too easily offended. Almost everyday, multiple times a day, someone is on the news talking about how they were offended. People have to think out everything they say in order to not offend someone. As usps already stated, many people probably complain that they are offended because they want attention. Side: yes

Google search results: "offend" - 13,700,000 results "offended" - 21,300,000 results "easily offended" - 3,710,000 results My analysis is that: Every 100 times someone offends, only 27 people are easily offended. However, every 100 times someone offends, 155 people are offended. So it seems that people are offended easily but not so easily offended. Side: No

Not to disrespect, but do you realise that you haven't actually stated any clear facts? You have shown a ratio which reveals many people are offended, but fewer are too easily offended. So, from my point of view, you haven't actually stated anything legit for the negative side. You have still proven that people are too easily offended, even if it is a small amount out of a large group. Also, you cannot judge an analysis based on search results from Google, because the context of the search or even the intentions of the search will vary, and all will most certainly not directly relate to this topic. Side: yes
