27. So we're allowed our free speech,
just not the right to be offended when someone shits all over that free speech.

So here's where I have a problem:
Believers in the Moscow area HAVE the right to be offended by a peaceful message, but the AHA does NOT have the right be shocked or offended by unlawful property damage and suppression of free speech on the part of believers in the Moscow area.

That's EXACTLY like saying that religious people have the right to be offended by people being gay in public, but gays do NOT have the right to be offended when religious people shout 'you're gonna burn in hell ya faggots' and throw things at them.

After all, they were just asking for attention, and they got it. Mission accomplished. :puke:
