You can refer to yourself as an fool and there is nothing offensive about your comment.

If I should call you a fool, I am committing an offense against you.

This analogy is dumb. Are you trying to say if a fool calls you a fool it is okay but no one else can call you a fool?

The problem is people nowadays think that it's a right to not be offended. That isn't a right in this country. In fact, the constitution gives you the protected right to offend anyone you want. You should look it up, it's called the first amendment.

Obviously, I know the first ammendment doesn't protect you from anyone but the government and that words have consequences but people nowadays think that they have the right to not be offended. What ever happened to ignoring people who try to offend you? Something about sticks and stones.
