Would you take said miniskirt into a Mosque? Again with words, lets use the same loggic for words that are offensive to others, such as nigger and fag. They can be offensive too. Should you care that it offends someone or not? Sure, there are plenty of people that use those words and simply don't care if they offend. Others do tend to watch their language and try to do what they can to not offend others. I'm not saying that speech or anything should be restricted, but you can look like a jerk if you like being offensive to others despite knowing how they respond to cretain things. |
I don't think that's relevant. I wouldn't go into a store without a shirt on either, because it's private property, and the owner's will must be respected within that property.
Once again, you'd be offending someone based on something they had no choice in. That's not the same as offending someone about a chosen characteristic.
Consider this: I create a new cult today, gather some followers and teach them that the world "game" belongs to us. Then we'll get righteously offended everytime somebody uses the word "game" without a just cause (that is, in vain). Are you going to go the extra mile to not offend us? Probably not, right?
