It's all about context for me. Expressing your opinion is perfectly valid, trying to force that opinion on others is wrong. A lot of things opinions require understanding on both sides of the coin...just saying you're wrong is not a valid argument. To break down prejudices browbeating doesn't work, it has to be education and understanding from all parties. The ability to accept people for their opinions and faults has to happen too, not everyone is ever going to agree.

It doesn't stop. But more importantly than that, people don't have the right to not be offended.

We dont?? ****... I haven't been offended for years. Now I dont know whether I should turn myself in, or just spend the rest of my life looking over my shoulder . If I start being offended now, do you think they'll let it slide?

I was under the impression the line was unless you were inciting hatred then expressing your opinion was fine?...
This appears to be changing, now you can't express an opinion as someone somewhere may be offended.
Soon you won't be allowed to criticise the govt, or post opinion on forums such as these....

I think the line is still at inciting hatred, but some people are choosing to get more offended than they really are by certain comments in order to drag the line closer to their own agenda...

Me too, it seems almost a crime to offend someone lately, how will children ever learn conflict resolution if nobody is allowed ti name call?
It's such an integral part of social interaction, and yet it seems nobody has the tools to deal with it and are relying on authority figures to say what is and isn't acceptable...
Although what appears to be happening is you're challenged now for having thoughts and opinions that are anything other than the socially accepted norm,
It's becoming increasingly noticeable.
