not so much 'not offend' as just 'be respectful and tolerant' but not to the extent that good comedy is compromised! offence being as much a case of laughter as anger let's face it.

I couldn't get it up because the bitch smelled like old shrimp.

Sometimes things just need to be said. That's where the responsibility ends.

"fascists" meaning "people who think you have a responsibility not to offend them"

So, no.

I take responsibility for my actions, but I cannot be held responsible for your feelings. This is fundamental stuff.

Look at the golden rule. It does not recommend that you treat others as they want to be treated. It could easily have done so. In fact, that is the falling-off-a-log obvious way to formulate it. But that way lies untold trouble.

In the universe of desirable ethical outcomes, the lack of offense presents a very mediocre imperative.

there are a few women at work with those. How am I supposed to concentrate on my work? Darned irresponsible.

Like breasts that leave the lights on when they leave a room?

Breasts that leave the hard on when they leave the room.

(either because his breasts are boner Kryptonite, or because he has a song called "Don't Go Home With Your Hard-On")
