Well, if you two are of the mind that rude insults are not actionable, then you are simply advocating a social breakdown.

No, I feel there should be social penalties for acting obnoxiously. I just don't feel that our government should be getting involved in matters such as what is obnoxious or what is blasphemous.

Ah, OK. Surely not this government. I can accept this as a statement of what modern governments are unable to do due to the cultural limitations. In principle, however, it should not be difficult to delineate between merely obnoxious and grossly insulting.
