'I'm offended' is not an argument [View all]
Interesting piece over at WEIT, ranging from graphic novels to abortion to the Perpetually Offended, with whom we often grapple in Other DU Groups.

Can't believe somebody wants to ban the graphic novel Persepolis. Everybody in here probably knows this already, but one of its themes is the subjugation of Iranian women after the 1979 revolution. I really liked the graphic novel and the movie, and I'm a grumpy old white guy.
