Yes, people get offended too easily. Chances are that most things that anyone says is offensive to someone in some way. Let people have their freedom to express themselves. However, keep in mind that I am not advocating pornography or other such things. There is a difference between offensive and dangerous. Side: Yeah

Yes. The reason why is if you outlaw one example of free speech that is deemed offensive there will be a snowball effect and people will just claim any form of free speech they don't like is offensive. That would effectively end free speech. Also, censorship flat out doesn't work because people instinctively want to express themselves. Side: Yeah

No. In my point of view , an action that has no appropriate string attached (law enforcement , personal limitation , social rules .. and the like) , would most probably play havoc with our personal and others safety. Freedom in administering one's opinions to the public is acceptable , only if there is some attached rules and regulations . Once pros and cons are being delivered unto a person , group , society or even country , the impact that come in parallel is literally unimaginable . To be pessimictic , just on the worst side of the scenario , all critiques , accuses of no bases and facts that throw towards a party , would , of no doubt , create turbulence in no time . Right ? Side: No
