so you are saying you have to RIGHT to offend me and i have no right to get offended?

i don't think this is true...i have the right to be offended and to tell you so, its called the freedom of speech...goes both ways...

although again...freedom of speech is to protect the citizens FROM the government, not the citizens from the citizens, or the government from the citizens...
