Question about the English (No offense intended) But, is it true that, the English Wear suits and ties, drink tea and eat scones, fly English flags everywhere like you just landed on the moon, go off in little armies trying to colonise the US and Ireland? o_O!
or in English No Offence means I've heard about of much as I can tolerate of your stupid opinions, a constant on QL, it also says IF YOU PERSIST IN SUCH STUPIDY I will go further! Maybe attack you! If you understand what I'm saying you will calm down and reflect on how stupid your ideas on this are on the topic.
Most people would rather be in denial of their shortcomings than have someone come confirm them. I for one don't mind being corrected but it must be politely. Sugar coating is a must! Cos when someone comes up all rude and insulting what they say, no matter how true, will likely be rejected. Good manners and kindness can by far achieve better results. Correct a person's mistake but please don't attack their ego in other words!
On a positive note, "no offence" mean that you have so and so negative attributes in you, but I would like to improve those 'negative attributes' into 'positive qualities' in which other people are unwilling to do the same.
Say for example, when you hang out with a smelly friend, you may not directly tell her that she needs to take a shower because it may hurt her feelings. Instead, you may add "no offence" so as to signal her that you are about to tell something which would help her but at the same time offend her.

it means: "Im gona do whatever i want, get out of the way"
respect all sensitive/emotionally impaired people.
Accept the fact of life that No one is perfect but continue to make 'sincere efforts to improve'.
Does one will forgive and forget my shortcomings and mistakes? I doubt.
Theoritically, we do accept many things, but in reality, we take people for granted and do offend very often.
I'm gonna be frank with you so don't get too emotional...
no offence means idli sambar....:(
No Offence, I don't think that I'm wasting anybody's time here. Its your choice to read or not to read this post. LOL.
No offence, but this way you are just wasting your time--- and our time. LOL

It usually means that "I'm a bigot, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt"..
no offence - be prepared for the response at a place and time of my choosing

'No Offence' is a highly offensive word..one can do away with it in constructive criticisms.
If you really wanna insult someone and take pleasure out of it, use it often in almost everything you say about the person..:)
Exactly!

But don't you realize that sometimes it may hurt the blind man's feeling. Maybe, you should use the word "visually impaired".
Absolutely....
That I can't be any more diplomatic and become blunt now; so you prepared to accept.An eye for an Eye.
What's wrong in saying A blind man A blind! No offense please :-)
Let me correct it: Lies are always welcome coz no body WANTS TO know the truth
:)
Lies are always welcome coz no body knows the truth.. :)
definitely, sugar coating helps a lot.
Majority of people prefer beautiful lies rather than the ugly truth.
because I am interested to know the public opinion.
Sugar coating doesnt help
no offence mean a grey pudding.
Why did you not give this explanation before?

it may also refer to something that might step or hurt your belief, nationality, even your own status. Like
-no offense to the Muslim people...
-no offense with the Filipino people here
-no offense to those who are still single but we only allowed married or couple...
"what I am going to tell you may be harsh ; but it is true"
To me it just seems something that adds insult to the injury.
it means im about to insult you in a politely way.
yah..correct...about to say something that he will never likes.
