> Just because something doesn't offend you specifically (even if you are part of the group something offensive is being said about) doesn't mean it isn't offending anyone.

I couldn't care less if someone is offended. This wasn't a serious problem before the internet and with it is even less of an issue because it's just on the computer or your iphone.

Just turn it off, there, problem solved.

Yes, you don't have a right to not be offended. That is insane.

> and free speech does not cover hate speech

Where in the bill of rights is this covered? Or even the federalist papers?
