I recommend bringing up how (depending on whether you're talking about pigmentation or light) black or white is every color, then do the whole thing in the absence-of-color color to make a point.

One of my partners asked the teacher, and she said that it's because colours or images may offend others in the class.

We are allowed graphs and tables, but we can't include more than a couple and they must be colourless as well.

HOW THE HELL DO YOU OFFEND SOMEONE WITH A COLOR?

Challenge accepted.

an advantage, a strength, and an opportunity were similar to each other or not. The non-english partner insisted that all three were completely different things with no similarities.

Well I mean, they are different. Sure in some cases you could use advantage and strength in place of each other to say a similar thing, but it's not really the same. And opportunity is way out.

Hey, I worked why I like that picture!

The emotional part of my brain is retarded!

Well yeah. If it were reasonable it wouldn't be emotional.

Note that you aren't actually offending someone, you're offending someone on the behalf of someone else.

The real peril of being a leftist now isn't being executed by fascists, blacklisted and degraded by neo/classical liberals, or whatever, it's being associated with the idiots that propagate this sort of thing. 

By the way, everyone needs to stop using Darkling, the beige-on-brown/black offends me just by knowing that other people are using it. Also those little dorf faces are unacceptable, everyone needs to go back to the blue-white triangles.

^This. Needs more question marks though.

Sort of like saying, 'those presentations don't use my favorite color, I'm offended'.

As for images, I doubt the subject you're doing would get any images that are offensive to someone, but um yeah, she could just say no offensive images but she wants to cover the bases, no idea.

In several of my classes we were taught that in business terms, a strength is an internal advantage caused by you or your company, and an opportunity is an advantage that is created by a force external to you or your company.

Not quite the same thing, but not enough of a distinction to warrant us separating and confining different positives we've gathered in completely different paragraphs with their own special headings. Which was what the argument was about.

But I don't quite understand what is wrong with colours or images. Or "big words".

Though it is possible to actually get offensive images for this subject. For example, I was considering grabbing some screenshots of some parody accounts on facebook or twitter, as a possible way that social media could backfire on a company.

BlackFlyme, are you in a high school? That sounds like high school bullshit. If you're in a university, that's terrifying.

I'd probably call it middle school bullshit actually.

BF's in college, if memory serves.

EDIT: Unrelated; no matter what I do, the forum is adamant that it's an hour ahead of the time it actually is for me.

[BlackFlyme]

College.

And I'm guessing that the forum time doesn't account for Daylight Savings Time. It's an hour off for me too.

Probably special business terminology then. From what I've seen business has an annoying tendency to redefine normal words to have specialized different meanings (similar to psychology, and opposed to science and engineering which just make up new words instead).

Thing is, when I go to fix the time, it says at the example that it's "19:52" or what have you.
