Shock Value

I do not shock easily. Trust me. People have tried. I have a couple theories as to why this might be:
I have lived around a college campus my entire life. My very existence has been surrounded by college-age students who try to shock one another. Maybe it is because I have grown up around this, or maybe it is because I just don't shock easily, but now, being a college-age student, these feeble attempts at shocking seem to be even more, well, feeble.

I think the problem with most comments designed to bring shock value, is that they tend to be centered around standards:

Such as:
"I would let my girls wear slits, but only in 2 or 3 of their skirts"

"I go to the movies while I'm at school but don't tell anyone"

"My two favorite movies are Braveheart, and Hitch so that should show you how loose I am in my movie standards"

"I think when my children are older, I will, if they're with someone, let them go into a Tommy Hilfiger store"

"Sometimes, I don't vote Republican"

"I have nothing against any forms, of any types, of any kinds, of any genres, of music. *pause* That means I listen to CCM"

These comments do absolutely nothing for me (except lower the amount of respect I give to that person). I sit there and wait for them to realize how stupid they sound. I sit there and wait for them to realize that I am not going to argue that with them. I sit there and wait for them to realize that no one cares about their stupid comment. But no matter how long I sit there and wait all I ever get is ....

"Bet you weren't expecting that, huh now where you?"

"Oops, did I just say that? Oh well. Don't tell anyone"

"Sorry if I shocked you."

Each one is equally horrible in its own right, and equally pathetic in its own way. Although the middle one is the most used (especially in a Christian College campus), the last one might be the most personally offensive to me.

I just wish I could say, "Trust me - you aren't shocking me".

I say all of this to say that recently I was shocked by something someone said.
Completely, 100%, all-out, totally, amazingly, and disgustingly shocked.
What they said had nothing to do with standards, it had nothing to do with gossip, movies, or doctrine. None of those above phrases were mentioned. None of that stupidity was there. Maybe that was my problem? Because I knew that this person wasn't stupid, I wasn't worried about hearing any of those above phrases. Maybe that's why I was shocked. When they said the 2 or 3 sentences, I became horribly offended, and shocked. They were so serious, they were so very serious.
I was disgusted with how they treated this issue.

And yes, I was also shocked. I still am shocked. I look back at it and am in awe that any human being would say that, but worse than saying it, they would believe it.

Why am I shocked?
