Default The right to NOT be offended?

Diablo brought up something interesting. Do we have the right to not be offended? For that matter, should we be so thin skinned that we are running around offended at everything?

Certainly, people need to be aware of the potential impact of what they say, but at the same time, freedom of speech directly contradicts any "right to not be offended". Doesn't it?
