We can't censor everything based on the lowest common denominator of sensitivity. This applies to conservative thought, liberal thought or completely non-political thought. You don't need the concept of freedom of speech to protect pleasant speech, you need it to protect speech that might be and is offensive to some.

And if you're an adult, you need to be able to tolerate adult conversations. You don't have to listen to it, but you shouldn't have the right to shut it down for everyone else because you are sensitive to it. Honestly, who cares that you are sensitive about it?

Why do I have to stop having an adult conversation because you don't like it? Go away and listen to something else. If my thoughts are corrupting you, then grow a brain and have thoughts of your own.
