You say that like it's a good thing. It's not. It should offend you.

Just because something offends you doesn't mean you have to go nuts, but being jaded to offensive things is not a good thing.

Why should that offend him? Are you offended by a thumbs up picture? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumbs_signal

G+ is an international social network. It's interesting how you assume that what's offensive to a large number of people in the US (maybe 100M people) should be offensive to the world (7B).
