Yes people have the right to take offence at something they see or hear. They have a moral right. But this right written in law ? Are you for real ? What a ridiculous statement to make.

 

They are perfectly entitled to take umbrage at anything which they feel offends them, the same entitlement that you appear to have at other people's opinions, something which you seem to voice with monotonous regularity.

Are you sure you are OK?, you seem to want to make a big issue out of things I say even though I've not said what you appear to think I have!

I believe I asked a question rather than make a statement, that is what the questionmark was there for, although I accept I gave an opinion when I said "I doubt it"!

So you say they have a moral right, so who affords them this right?, are we all agreed they have a moral right? Surely if it has been agreed upon it must be written in law!

You claim they are entitled, where does this entitlement come from? To be entitled it has to be bestowed upon you and so again one would expect law to be involved, otherwise people just feel perhaps they should be entitled without actually having this supported in any way!

“Nobody has the right to not be offended. That right doesn't exist in any declaration I have ever read.

If you are offended it is your problem, and frankly lots of things offend lots of people."
