I agree. There are certain behaviors that should be illegal, but being offended and finding things offensive is just a part of life. We can't all fit in and belong with everybody and everywhere, we should just get over it and move on to something else. Part of growing up and living is FINDING our place in this world...not forcing our way into someone else's. We're not going to like everything or even agree with it, but there is no sense in getting rid of them just because our own personal feelings and preferences. You can't and shouldn't establish your own rights by stepping on and/or taking away the rights of others.

Ooh a rare thing we disagree on. 😳

I worry that this argument is being twisted by people with an agenda.

It's really helpful for the Nazis and the racists and those who want to exploit vulnerable people to say 'It's not my fault if you're offended'.

Deplorable things should be offensive, and people should rage against them without fear that they're going to be ignored because they're 'sensitive snowflakes'.

There will always be a few people who whine and moan and try to get something for nothing by saying they were discriminated against or whatever, but it's better to just ignore these twats than to campaign against offence.

I think the concept would make an entertaining reality show. Seeing some dude weep as he's cuffed in front of his family and read his rights because when he was ordering milk for his kids he said "white milk" instead of just "milk".

Often people are criminalized by what someone else would do, but haven't so they haven't given the chance to empathize or being treated as a criminal]. Often people need the reminder they are human, too. Does this mean I'm against the laws in my country ~ I think they are mostly fair and the what an outside body can do. It does question things within me....

I think there is a line but I’m not sure (as you say) crossing the line should be illegal.

The KKK took symbols past that line and that is hard to deny.

It leads to everyone having thin skins and asking for someone else to help them making them less self reliant.

Not a world I want to live in. I say we just live and let live.

guess that rules out being a free man lol

I'm offended that you would say this. POLICE!!!!!! 😃

Offending someone isn't a crime? What law or proposed law are you referring to?

Moreso, the ones who are offended - apart fromSuperCuteK down there - are often, either the pansy-princess type or the nancy-boy!!

It’s like anything, really—where humans exist someone is going to go too far. I often wonder what has changed between now, when kids are so devastated by bullying that they suicide, and my own childhood experiences being bullied.
I know that the internet has made bullying harder to escape. I don’t know what kind of legislation is being proposed, obviously something needs to be done to protect people.
But as I said, there’s always the potential to go overboard, like when a 6 year old was charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate. These are just stray thoughts. I wish I had better answers. 🤔

The world already has enough panty waisted and thin skinned titty babies in it. Making offending someone a crime would only make it worse. Law enforcement and the legal system have enough on their hands without this ridiculous idea becoming a reality.

We would all be in jail.

There's no right to be offended, its ridiculous.
