To offend or not to offend

On BBC Breakfast this morning [6th March] there was a piece about an advertisement from the British Humanist Association in relation to the forthcoming Census.Then there was the story of the ice cream made from breast milk that has bee banned from sale.Some people might be offended. These, and other things might be in poor taste, but I'm offended by the extent to which we must apparently pander to every hypersensitive soul of any race,colour,creed or opinion who gets offended instead of getting a life.
