Just the sight of a cigarette sends the smoke nazis into apoplexy.
Close, but... well, no cigar.
The rule is, it is OK to offend most people. It's just the tiny factions that we are prohibited to offend. The smaller the faction, the more "protected" their "right" to NOT be "offended."
Take homosexuals for example. They comprise at most 2% to 3% of the population, yet, their political clout far outweighs that of the majority.
The idea of "democracy" is a farce, even apart from its inherent fallacy (i.e., three wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner). As practiced, "democracy" turns out to be the diametric opposite of "majority rule".
In practice, what we endure is a "minority rule" regime.
Used to be that sort of thing was frowned upon (see "History of South Africa" for confirmation). Now, though, it's minority rule, plain and simple. Find any tiny faction that proclaims that it's "offended" by something, and watch the populace be hammered into virtual reeducation camp (otherwise known as "the schools" and "the media" and "entertainment"), until they learn to properly bow and scrape before The Offended Ones.
Of course, it helps if the tiny faction comprising "The Offended Ones" represents a sociological monkeywrench in the gears of classic American culture.
Welcome to the future. Shut up, bend over, and do as you're told -- and like it -- or else!
(Huh? Me, cynical?)
