I think that making offending someone a crime is a very dangerous thing to normalise as some people seem to be offended just by being alive.

What are your thoughts?

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.

@AlienZipper It already is a reality for a lot of us.

@ZenKitzune Where is that? That's insane to even think about...

@AlienZipper Did you not hear about the Scottish guy who was sent to prison for training his dog to salute hitler?

@ZenKitzune I seem to recall something about it, but I blew it off as a big joke.

@AlienZipper also in canada you can be prosecuted for not using the correct gender pronoun when addressing someone.

@ZenKitzune Damn...well why don't they just establish the Department of Thought and Speech Enforcement while they're at it? This whole planet really is going to hell....

@AlienZipper If we aren't careful it will.

@ZenKitzune Oh I have no doubts...and all because a minority of people can't handle any sort of negativity. Not having your feelings hurt isn't a basic human right... it's called life, and it's been going on for millennia, and will continue despite the efforts to stop it....

@AlienZipper Schools and universities are becoming places that produce this mentality now. At the time when ideas should be tossed around and sorted out, we are telling kids what to think and when instead.

@ZenKitzune It's almost like a culture of entitlement...
