(4,751 posts)uncomfortable by seeing two people kissing. The other was offended by two people dancing. However, I will concede it is not a great analogy.
Thus, let's suppose that a student feels that two people slow dancing makes that person feel uncomfortable. (before you say 'that's absurd!' think of southern baptists and some Anabaptist religions) They truly feel uncomfortable seeing people slow dance and maybe even feel bullied for having that position.
Should their actual, real, not made-up (but generally ridiculous) feeling uncomfortable mean that others should not be able to slow dance?
My point was not about WHAT the person was offended by or WHAT made the person feel uncomfortable, but rather that we as a society seem to be reducing public interactions to what is so vanilla that is offends nobody.
