No one can tell someone else what they should or should not consider offensive.

What I don't understand is why because someone finds something offensive that they feel that something has to change?

I am offended by a lot of things in life. But I don't expect people to change. I would like people to change, but would fight against any movement that would force/require people to change.

My bottom line

-I have the right to be offended by anything I feel is offensive
-Everyone else has the right to ignore me.
-I have the right to make personal choices based on my offended feelings
-I have the responsibility to accept the consequences of my personal choices.
- I have to accept that other people may simply not care what I find offensive.

But this whole concept that if "I" feel something is wrong, "you" must change is ... uh.. well ...wrong.
