Because everywhere you go, if there's other people, you're bound to offend someone. People will most likely always be intolerant.

You need to understand the meaning of "freedom." It does not mean you have carte blanche to do anything you please. It is not anarchy. You are not free to kill or malign another person, just because you feel that you have that right.
Freedom comes with responsibility in a civilized society. Yes, you are free to speak the truth, but you don't have the right to inflict undue insult and injury on others. You surely wouldn't like it if someone said untrue or malicious things about you.
You should be greatly concerned in any society that allows careless and reckless dialogs to be perpetuated. Because any society that doesn't protect and respect the truth is not a free society. And if you disagree, you are completely free to do so . . .

Because some people show questionable taste and outright stupidity in the questions they ask, which is offensive to others.
And because they offend the grammar police by not using capitals or punctuation, and they don't check their spelling.

Because people don't like to be offended, which is BS. I think if someone is going to be offended by your free speech, and want to make laws to have you stop saying stuff like that, then they have confidence issues
