7. Turn that frown upside down!
Did you know it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile?

22. Some unions need to be bashed.
If a union is in bed with corporations, and backing/funding anti-labour action, I think a bashing is well deserved.

28. "you are afraid of change"
especially when used to support a really stupid idea. See there are only two choices our stupid idea, which represents 'change' or 'the status quo'.

Yeah, right. Zero income and no benefits is a positive thing.

29. I had a dentist who talked that way
'There's a little discomfort' in other words, you will be screaming in pain. But I was the one who used to have him drill without giving me a shot.

31. "I'm sorry...THAT YOU FEEL THAT WAY."
The unapologetic "apology." It's a dickhead classic.

32. "You're just in denial"
Classic non-argument. No matter what you say, it can be explained away by your own denial. :banghead:

36. "I'm sorry if you were offended."
Not "I'm sorry I offended you" which is an actual apology but "I'm sorry if you were offended." Which is not only an anti-apology but an accusation of oversensitivity as well. I call it a Republican apology.

40. I have to second this one, as you beat me to the punch...
This one always pisses me off; self-righteousness with a nice helping of "f*ck you". It places the onus completely back on the offended party, and does nothing to rectify the injury. bleh...

Edited on Sun May-20-07 02:05 PM by BlueIris
In my experience, this is typically the first defense of the psuedo-sensitive man after having said something profoundly insensitive/ignorant to someone else.

44. "We are making this change to better improve our customer service"
when the only reason ANY corporation changes ANYTHING is to save $$$ and improve their bottom line, savings which will not be passed on to their customers; the interests of the customers have fuck all to do with anything.
