It doesn't roll off the tongue well enough to be perfect, but "Easily Offended and Successful" is close enough for me to fit the definition of Oxymoronic - A figure of speech containing an apparent contradiction.

At the risk of offending you, I ask...

* Are you offended by jokes?
* Are you offended by newspaper columns?
* Are you offended by radio personalities?
* Are you offended by tv personalities?
* Are you offended by politicians?
* Do you join protests?
* Do you join boycotts?
* Do you write letters to the editor?
* Do you think your rights are being violated?
* Have you ever said the phrase "I resent that"?
* Do you demand apologizes?
* Do you usually speak in a shrill tone?
* and on and on and on...

I don't know about you, but everyday I notice a new group of the easily-offendeds. Do these people have any idea how childish they look? I doubt it - they're all caught up in their own hate. Which brings me to my question: Can you be successful if you're easily offended?
