There's a big difference between having "delicate sensibilities" and expecting common courtesy and decency. IMO, we've turned into too much of an "anything goes" society. There is nothing wrong with expecting folks to have respect for others in a public place.
Really?

Did she yell fire and put people in danger?
Did she yell gun man and put people in danger?

No. At least not that we know of. So, no, there's no harm to other people. People don't have this right to be offended and have the offensive thing reprimanded.


And as for the bold, nothing could be more laughable. We can't show a breast on a movie screen without an instant R. We can't allow cuss words on cable. We can't deal with sound effects in Paper Planes by MIA on the radio. We can't deal with growing a certain type of plant. We can't deal with what people put in their bodies. We can't deal with lots of things.

Anything goes is as far from American society as anything.
