yes. I think people are more agressive once they feel beeing offensive.
I try to always smile, and not to get to emotional ;)

Yea....I just say asshole under my breath then walk away. But I have that ability to shrug things off, some people don't, or haven't learned how.

Interesting points. I think that also illogical political correctness now is spreading the culture of protecting those "being offended". You can't criticise some idea, as you may be easily tagged as the one who is hurting someone's religious or political feelings. They confuse criticizing the ideology with criticizing individuals. A lot of groups hijack and exploit this in order to protect themselves against any criticism. This political correctness comes in very handy for them.
It is related to type of logical fallacy called appeal to emotion (or less common - righteous indignation)

Bingo!!
