I can't say I have personally met anybody who is this far gone, however I would say that the majority of people I speak to are beginning to follow down this path to some extent (whether knowingly or unknowingly, only God can know). How often do you try to have a real discussion about the state of the world and you just get told to stop because "it's too depressing" or because "it's offensive" to talk about such and such in an objective manner. Facts are now offensive to people! Imagine that! What makes it worse is that most of the time you can tell that the person you're talking to actually DOES want to have this discussion but they shut it down anyway in fear that somebody around them might hear what you're talking about and get offended. Isn't that what the right to free speech is? The right to disagree and have the discussion, the right to offend, the right to express your opinion no matter how seemingly crazy it maybe, that it can be debated in an open discourse in order that we may get closer to the truth. If we no longer have the right to argue, we are no longer free to seek the truth.

On a side note, I have definitely met people who are against free speech "that would be likely to offend others". I just don't know that I've ever met anybody who is quite this detached from reality, truth and logic.
