A lot of people don't realize this. If we lose the right to be rude or offensive it becomes a very slippery slope. Especially if some idiot puts it into law. Then all one would have to say "I find that offensive" to get someone in trouble. Emphasis on "say" because what someone finds offensive is totally subjective and they could be lying and we'd have no proof.

It's bizarre to me that there are people out there who genuinely believe they have the 'right' not to be offended.

And how that shit knows no political party better than another. It's becoming alarming popular on all sides... I mean, I guess it always has been, but now it's much harder to ignore.

Social media is more or less dominated by them one side, and on the other by people who can't think of anything more amusing than going out of their way to be as offensive as possible.
