No, it is only offensive if you are offended. Even if he intended to be offensive, then he still fails if he is unable to offend you.

Hence, you are sensitive and easily offended.

whether i'm offended or not doesn't matter. a comment is offensive if the objective is to offend. otherwise i can say that the color yellow offends me and now the sun is offensive because its yellow. no, it doesn't make sense. i would be sensitive if something that's not offensive offended me, like someone saying "you have yellow pants" and i become offended. however, whether or not i'm offended doesn't change the fact that someone is being offensive. if i say you're a f**********r then i'm being offensive irregardless if your offended or no

I do not find your comment offensive. Therefore, the comment is not offensive. That is the state of things.

You can say 'the colour yellow offends me, therefore the sun (which is yellow) offends me'. That does make sense. Taking offense is a property of the offended, not the one being so-called offensive, even if they intend to be offensive.

A guy can curse at me and call me every insult under the sun, but if I do not find him offensive, then he is not offensive. How you wish to be perceived and how you are perceived are the two matters being separated here.

You can find other people offensive even when they do not intend to be offensive. HEnce, I reiterate, that taking offense is a property of the offended, not the one who may or may not intend to be offensive.

He may have intended to be offensive, but he is only so if you perceive him to be. Otherwise, he is not.

Hence, you are sensitive to being offended.

Gosh what a philosophy here :P

I love philosophy so I break in:
FireLord is right, when something is offensive towards someone, it is offensive.
However, that doesn't mean it is meant to be as an offense.

Good example is the religious jokes in newspapers.
They are meant as a joke, but they are taken as an offense by the religion it self.

So it is offensive, but not meant to be offensive.
In these cases, a reasonable guy will forgive him and maybe even laugh about the joke.
That is why this isn't so bad.

But this is my view on this subject ;D

So if bananas are offensive to me because my mom got banana-raped by some guy, are bananas offensive to you too?

that's what sirell said. if someone is offended by something then that something is now offensive.
"A guy can curse at me and call me every insult under the sun, but if I do not find him offensive, then he is not offensive."
therefore this must be true as well
"if a guy compliments you and you find him offensive, then he is offensive."
and both need to be true at the same time
"if person A finds him offensive, and person B does not find him offensive, then he is both offensive and not offensive at the sime time"

no. being offended and being offensive are not dependent. you can be offended by a non-offensive comment and you may not be offended by an offensive comment. however, just because you are offended by bananas it does not make bananas offensive.
