Look what came in the mail today! Your super-awesome set of funny t-shirts that you've ordered from the Internet just showed up and you couldn't be more excited! There is nothing you can't do! You are King of your Domain, and you will march forth into the wilderness to conquer all with the hilarity of your funny t-shirts! You decide that the ground of your first comedy conquest will be at the vegetable stand of your local Farmer's Market, because you are in dire need of fresh veggies for the stew you are making later that evening.
Well, things are not going quite like you planned. You have succeeded in your mission of making it to the vegetable stand, but things have taken a turn for the worse. Just when you think people are about to start crowding around you, asking where you buy your funny t-shirts someone gets mad. You notice people are looking at your shirt in disgust. Control of the situation has spiraled away from you. They have grabbed their pitchforks and lit their torches. All is lost but why did they get so mad at you?
I can tell you what your problem is right now. Your taste in funny t-shirts may be great, but the problem is that you are part of a generation of people who have been completely desensitized to offensive material. You have spent so much of your younger years online, that there is nothing new under the sun that you have not seen. Car crashes, shoot-outs, nakedness, and cursing are how you spend your lazy down time. It's no wonder that you've become so blind to what is "offensive" and what is not.
You may not realize it due to your jaded nature, but your funny t-shirts could very well be offensive. If you are too jaded to figure it out, you need to look carefully at your shirts and run through a mental checklist of offensive material to make certain your shirts are safe to wear out in the real world. You also need to understand that some things that seem hilarious on a computer, may not be so funny to everyone else. Just make sure that your shirt isn't about anything sexual, offensive words, religious, or political statements. Simple, right?
The real bad thing about all of this is the lack of freedom we have in a country that is founded on fr

The real bad thing about all of this is the lack of freedom we have in a country that is founded on free speech. Political Correctness has eroded away our ability to say whatever we want, and that's a real shame. When people are afraid to speak their mind because someone else might get offended, then we've only succeeded in silencing new ideas. So what is worse, a generation that doesn't care about being offended or a generation that imposes its will on others?
