There is no right not to be offended. That's just a right that doesn't exist.

  Is there not the right of freedom of association, and by extension, not to associate with those who offend without purpose?

    > by extension, not to associate with those who offend without purpose? Of course there is. You are free to not acciciate with those who offend you by leaving. You do not however, have the right to stop people from offending you by assiciating with them.

    Of course. But my freedom not to associate with someone DOES NOT give me the right to force him to go away.
    • geofft 11y ago
      Was anyone forced to go away?

        I'm sorry, I may have missed your point about freedom to associate. What was it?

      Unless they are on your property, in which case you can ask them to leave.

        Well sure, but that has more to do with property rights per se than with the implied right of freedom of association. (Or maybe it doesn't. I dunno, really.)
