Opinions ARE like assholes, everyone has one, and not everyone will enjoy what you have to offer. However, being offended doesn’t make you right, and, in turn, you do not have the right to go through life NOT being offended. I’ll break that one down because it’s a hard concept for a lot of politically correct minded people to grasp. Free speech means that I may say something that offends you (and many others!), but you do not have the right to shut me up simply because you don’t like what I have to say. Likewise, saying something you don’t like doesn’t inherently make me a bad person. It makes me a person with a thought process that is distinct from yours. Assuming I’m stupid, or evil, or bad, or insensitive (ok, I frequently AM insensitive, I think being sensitive is overrated) because I say something that offends you is a disservice to you, because you are passing up the opportunity to think critically and engage in a conversation that might make you uncomfortable. But it might make me uncomfortable too, and you might, with a sound argument, be able to change the way I think.
