To better enforce inoffensiveness to everyone in general, ought all bullies (bullies being defined as anyone who is offensive to anyone) be summarily executed? Such punishment may sound harsh, not meaning to offend anyone here, but it would reduce the offensiveness of all populations in general. So, execute anyone who offends anyone else? Yay or nay?

Great! Merciless totalitarianism for everyone, just because some people are as*holes.

The last word of your reply offends me. *Bang!*

... You're right though, that is the situation which would arise from such a law.

Great way to wipe out the entire human race.

Eventually there would be only one person left. Then, once he/she is dead...

IT'S BEEN NICE KNOWING Y'ALL! :salut:

Or nay. They had general voting in Democratic Kampuchea about who was going to be executed. The kids where those voting, and they generally voted to execute their own parents.

As said, Pol Pot tried exactly that during the time he raped Cambodia.

It was somewhat successful. He killed 2 million of an 8 million population.

Sand already sorta beat me to it, but... if your presence offends me, 'Keet, are you willing to be executed?

A total vacuum of offensiveness is impossible, unless, like everyone else has suggested, you bring about a mass extinction. Someone is always going to be offended by someone else. And who's to say a world entirely sanitized of any sort of offensiveness is a good standard for a concept of utopia anyway? Most, if not all, comedy and humour comes at someone's expense. Would you enjoy living in a world without humour? Some people are offended by certain artwork, music and movies. Are you suggesting we take away artists', musicians', and filmmakers' freedom of expression?

Don't get me wrong-- bullying is a serious problem. Take the suicide of Tyler Clementi at Rutgers as a recent example of what sort of damage bullies can cause. I was bullied myself, throughout my schooling, and I have no love for bullies. But to suggest that no one should ever offend anyone is ungrounded in reality, and to suggest execution for anyone who does offend is completely contradictory to the principles of a free democratic society.
