![]() No, we are trying to get you to understand that there are much better ways to express your argument than by invoking an analogy that offends a large group of people. Here's the scenario, should you decide to halt all communication that offends some people. The whole world goes silent from lack of all human communication. WHY? All advertisements must be taken out of public view, as smoking cigarettes angers the anti-smoking crowd, meat products anger p.e.t.a.-types, wood products anger earth first! types, etc; All books must be taken off the shelves, even the oldest literature offends some moralists... religious books offend athiests and pagans. Secular books offend christians, etc. All music must be taken off the airwaves and recorded music products must be taken off the shelf... as rap offends those who've been victimized by violent crime, religious music offends seculars, pagans and athiests, etc. Alcohol must be taken off the market to avoid offended MADD. I could continue this ad nauseum but I think the point is pretty clear. If YOU want to live in that world, go right ahead and censure everything you say and carefully make sure you are not going to first offend everybody. The utopian socialists will LOVE you for it. I, however, will not. Ever. Are we clear? Clint KB5ZHT |
