You can't manage to not offend anyone if you're actually living a life, what with all the professional victims around just looking for some "offense" to go around wailing about or use as an excuse for their own problems.

To US readers: just curious, where in our Constitution is a "right" to never be offended actually mentioned? I ask because that "right" seems to be trumping the First Amendment a lot lately (First Amendment covers such niceties as freedom to speak and to hold and express the religious views of one's choice without the government muzzling you, for non-US readers).
