“There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches.”
Ray Bradbury
“When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.”
George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings
“When truth is replaced by silence,the silence is a lie.”
Yevgeny Yevtushenko
“It’s now very common to hear people say, ‘I’m rather offended by that.’ As if that gives them certain rights. It’s actually nothing more… than a whine. ‘I find that offensive.’ It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. ‘I am offended by that.’ Well, so fucking what.”
Stephen Fry

Stephen Frye, I love it.
Cliff, you typed exactly what I was thinking.
Ought to keep that one handy and memorized, to say it whenever we hear another whiner.
Or, ask them if they want some cheese with their whine.
America, what a country. When people tell you that you offended them tell them that be glad that we have the right to offend each other. Or, “You have the right to be offended as I have the right to offend you”.
