Freedom of Speech ¬= Freedom from Offence...

Just a thought...

If I called someone a n*gger, is that an opinion or abuse, or prejudice?

All three. I feel you should be free to do so. However, don't expect me to rush to your aid should said black person punch your lights out. I might rush to help him do so.

Freedom of speech <> Freedom to gratuitously insult.

I'd like to agree, but it's difficult to draw the line.

This is the point. You can only really define an offensive remark in the light of the subject’s emotional response to the remark. Each person decides for himself what he finds offensive. If I were to say ‘God doesn’t exist’, as I believe, then some people could choose to find that offensive. Am I then making an offensive remark? If I go a step further and say ‘God is an evil entity who is no better than Satan’, am I being offensive? To some people, yes, but to others who choose to ignore the remark or who don’t believe in God, no.

This implies a non same sex relationship and as a whinging tit I feel I must complain

Well to be honest I would rather not work with a 6 foot 20 stone bearded man called Florence in a Laura Ashley dress.

If anyone thinks that kind of display is normal then they should reevaluate their outlook on life.
