I suppose this is a question of philosophics and morality. What I'm getting at, is that people seem to think it's cruel to say things that might offend someone, because "Aww, you hurt their feelings!"
But isn't it immoral as a society, to ignore the issues at hand, due to being afraid of hurting someone's feelings?
Then again, the flip side becomes, "Who's to say what's the greater good? When does the feelings of the individual(s) become outweighed by the feelings of society as a collective?"
What do you think?
