When I visit my friends who live in large metro areas - which isn't often, I am often alarmed at how many things are off-limits as far as speech is concerned. I am not an offensive person nor do I want to intentionally hurt almost anyone's feelings but I agree, it has gone too far so that simple words that can mean a lot of things are now offensive to someone, somewhere.

They see giving offense as harmful. Offense is not harm. To silence anyone who might cause offense will send the world off kilter, which perhaps is the whole point - to make us ashamed of most thoughts, words and deeds we might have or do, so that we are more compliant slaves.
