What? I for one do not give a fuck about what you approve. Who put you in charge ,with your anal-retentive-petty-bourgeois-Judeo-Christian-New-Age values?
Quote:I am completely against this ridiculous "right to be offended". People have a right to disagree and that's about it.
(1) Argument from personal incredulity.
(2) By "rights" I refer to legal/ constitutional rights. In Australia, nobody has the right NOT to be offended. Further,the right of free speech infers the right of dissent, up to and including giving gross offence.(except if you live in Germany or Austria, where they put Holocaust deniers in gaol:I do not support anti vilificaction laws. )
OF course I don't go around insulting just anyone, I try to restrict myself to fools. However, I do not resile from expressing an opinion for fear of giving offence. THAT is censorship and I do not support it.

I'm pretty sure her/his other thread has something along the lines of "negativity should be banned." What a contradictory person.
I noticed that too. I'm not sure this guy has really thought his arguments out.
Nice flair for understatement you have there. British?
