To do something, however small, to make others happier and better, is the highest ambition, the most elevating hope, which can inspire a human being.

And I fully agree with comment #6. People invent all kinds of fake “rights” to undermine fundamental rights f other people when they do not like them.

Grow up! In all normal countries sex education is mandatory and includes all about masturbation, vibrators and condom use. If USA (or Australia) is so back water to not even have that in their kindergartens or at least in the first years of the school, then those ‘morales’ are just as outdated as Greek traditions of sodomy between teachers and male students.

Your readers have posted interesting reply here, passion is quite alive.

*** If you have the right of free speech, does that mean that you don’t need to care about whether your statements are offending others? Or do you just say “This is my right to free speech, stuff you” ***

You should consider others, it’s the right thing to do, but you can say whatever you want, as long as you do understand that you could end up being sued, fired or in jail.
Of course some will point out that in the United States of America, free speech is protected under the First Amendment, but the First amendment protects you against government intervention, a private citizen can sue you, may even win. And the First amendment of the constitution of the United States of America do not apply outside that country.

*** At what point does your right of free speech impend on my right to feel safe? Should it? ***

Your SAFETY outweigh free speech, when it comes to things like crying fire in a theater, making psychological physical or even death threat. In most country these are illegal and you can be prosecuted, have to pay compensation even go to jail.
In any way to belittle people, to harass them is usually the sign of immaturity.

*** At what point do you stop blaming a language barrier for offensive posts, and conclude that the person is just trying to provoked you? ***

After the first time, as long as someone has explained to them their misuse of language, since book knowledge of words may not be the same as usage of those same words.
Example: the word bitch designate a female canine, can also be use as an insult to women.
After that it is provocation.

*** If something is right in your country, does that make it right throughout the world, and does it mean that you can use it as a disclaimer for your behaviour? ***

Of course not, for example if you are a woman lounging on the beach only wearing the bottom part of your bikini, in Australia it may be acceptable, but is not in Canada.
Same thing for blogging, you may write whatever you have to say, as long as your readers choose to go to your blog, but as soon as you choose to connect it to someone else website, then you must consider that, what you post may be seen as offensive, inappropriate, and even cause harm, since it will be seen everywhere in the world, without discrimination and in some country a crime simply to load the page.

Free speech should never impede your right to feel safe. Words are just that. It’s when people get defensive about things that ugliness can pop up it’s nasty head. You may not agree with me, but that is also your right.

There are some people out there who are just looking for a fight whether it be in person or on the internet. I always have found if you don’t pay any attention to it, the negative will diminish in power. I can see that sometimes language could be a barrier as words are used differently in different cultures. Even in the Bible”terrible” can mean “magnificent”.

No disclaimer allowed for bad behaviour! Personally, because we are culturally different, I believe we all have the right to be different on many levels. “Our way” is not right for everyone.
What is missing is RESPECT. We must respect the rights of others!
