A lot of people don't realize this. If we lose the right to be rude or offensive it becomes a very slippery slope. Especially if some idiot puts it into law. Then all one would have to say "I find that offensive" to get someone in trouble. Emphasis on "say" because what someone finds offensive is totally subjective and they could be lying and we'd have no proof.
