According to logic and reason.
And what do you mean, what do I mean? Nobody has a right not not be offended in life. It's going to happen, it's a fact of life, if someone can't handle that, they have some growing up to do. Anything can be offensive to people, especially with so many people actively searching for it. Why should someone's over sensitive feelings trump someone's freedom to express themselves as they see fit?
People get offended at way too much nonsense in this world. It's silly to let so many harmless and insignificant things bother you. I feel sorry for people who are offended easily, it must be hard worrying so much about what others do.
For those who find it offensive, it is neither logical or reasonable. Again I ask you, according to who?
If you can not explain what your own words are meant to say, then just say so. I don't understand what you were trying to say in that specific post, IE:
"And there is no right not to be offended." and this doesn't really clear it up much,
" Nobody has a right not not be offended in life." Society dictates what is acceptable and what is not. It seems to me that you and others are leaning on the idea that the majority of society doesn't find cursing to be offensive. Is that correct? If so, then please show me what measure you are using to come to this conclusion. Obviously, people are not going allow poor language to just make their world stop but that doesn't mean that people have the right to simply just be offensive to their fellow man.
People may get offended way too much and personally, I do believe that our society is way too PC oriented but the question of cursing, that's not really something you can hang your hat on in the PC discussion world. It's been found to be offensive for thousands of years, long before the PC fab ever became popular in society. That's not a new thing. This idea of "Get Over It" is the new thing.
It is said that the greatness of a Nation is how that nation treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life; the sick, the needy and the handicapped. This idea that it is up to people to accept does not seem to go along with the idea of Greatness, as outlined in the above statement.
