We are not allowing people to exercise their right to have a point of view for fear of being 'shot down' so most people who don't conform to todays society will keep their mouths shut. For us all to think the same way would mean we are brainwashed and conditioned. This world is full of offended people these days and personally I think its bloody ridiculous.

I would say the average racist/homophobe/sexist etc is a bad person, they're certainly not a good, understanding, or compassionate one.
I feel like your point would only make sense if these people didn't know they were bad people, but I'd imagine that they'd know that most people see them that way? So I doubt that would impact their words? Would it?

Also your last sentence implies that it is ridiculous to be offended by racism/homophobia/sexism etc? Is that what you meant to say?
