> Everything is "offensive" these days Spare us the BS. Society is very much able to form opinions on what is widely considered offensive and what is not. Case in point: legal proceedings for libel, threats and so on. Turns out society still gives meaning to words. > it's impossible to even be proven wrong You've been proven wrong right now.

> Society is very much able to form opinions on what is widely considered offensive and what is not. Except there isn't an agreed upon opinion, just a certain number of loud individuals trying to silence others, and everyone else who just quietly don't care. > You've been proven wrong right now. I was saying that it's impossible to prove that something isn't offensive. Please take your time to actually understand posts you read before posting angry comments.

  > Except there isn't an agreed upon opinion, just a certain number of loud individuals trying to silence others Again you are trying to make a strawman, claiming that it's just some minority and you are so brave for standing up to them. It isn't. Open a dictionary and you'll find a number of words clearly defined as offensive. Language isn't just an opinion of few people. > I was saying that it's impossible to prove that something isn't offensive.

    > Again you are trying to make a strawman, claiming that it's just some minority Are you implying that it's not? If so, do you have any reasoning to support that claim? > Language isn't just an opinion of few people Language is defined by how people use it. There is no central authority for the meaning, or level of offensiveness, of words. > Spare us the BS. Who's "us"? And what bullshit are you talking about exactly? Your demeaning attitude is not appreciated.
