33. How could it POSSIBLY offend someone if someone else eats meat on Fridays?

Oh, wait, is it like how marriage equality "offends" those who are incredibly unlikely to get married to someone of the same sex, but can't help being all Mrs. Kravitz about making a fuss out of it?

I think I'm starting to see the "logic" behind that mindset.

Personally, I love fish and eat is as often as possible, as long as it's not from the Gulf of Mexico, which will remain poisoned for the rest of my lifetime. If eating out, which I can't afford, it's mainly available on Fridays.

Keep on looking for things to be offended about. You'll always find something
