Question the motives of those who seek to be offended or find things offensive, theirs is a personal agenda of control of others behavior.
Prior restraint cannot be upheld as there is no one who knows what can or cannot be said, heard, written in our society if we are to uphold freedom of speech in any capacity. And who would be in charge of such? Who will claim to know for every other American or non-American what can and cannot be said?
If you limit the speech of one, you make a target for your own back.
Those who seek such restraint seek to silence others – there are no inherent rights of humans to not be offended.
Society needs to stop appeasing people; society doesn't exist for your comfort.
Let the words written, heard, seen, or expressed be the observation of others as to the nature of the individual who said it.
In a free market society, the market (the people) speaks with their dollars or kinship, thus letting the product (the individual) know the reality of what will be accepted or not accepted.
Each has a choice to express their opinions - this upholds freedom of both parties.
