Actually, no that's ridiculous. You're free to express your sentiments; whether someone else tells you not to listen or not is their own freedom. And it's not insulting: if you don't like offensive jokes then don't listen to them. I'm expressing my own freedom by saying that; you can't limit my freedom just like I can't limit yours.

I'm putting this post in the hall of shame with bolding added for emphasis of the particularly stupid parts.
