26. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind
"There's a range and I guess some folks see it in the negative. Liberty and freedom of speech implies some responsibility and the right to respect others and not be an asshole, too."

What part of "there's a range" don't you understand. It's your freedom to be an asshole and go around skewering. Don't be surprised when the sacred cow turns on your bull.


"FREEDOM OF SPEECH PERMITS THAT WE CAN OFFEND EACH OTHER AND SKEW EACH OTHER'S SACRED COWS"

"MUSLIMS NEED TO LEARN TO LIVE IN THE WEST OR RETURN TO THEIR COMFORT ZONE."

"Segregationists were offended in the civil rights era. Nobody gave a damn."

"Conservative Christians (and even liberal ones) are deliberately offended constantly in the media."
