I think that censorship is almost a way of life. It is hard to say something in a large crowd that will offend no one. Everyone is offended by something and nothing offends no one. For example, if you said that school was boring, there are going to be people who are offended by it because they like school or something. In today's world, the word God could be offending to some. There are way too many religions with different beliefs to be able to please all by saying something about God for Christians or Allah for Muslims.
Although everyone is given the right of freedom of speech, there are those who disagree with that person and they sometimes sue for something they said that offended them. I mean, it is just an opinion. Who cares? I have no problem if someone wants to say something against my religion or the way I dress or who I am friends with. If someone wants to say something like that, then go ahead. I'll respect your rights. But newspaper columnists have to be careful what they right so they don't put their job in jepordy. Journalists should just stick to the topic they are writing about so they do not have to worry about what people will think or who they will offend. Censorship is just what people have to live with nowadays because of what others think and will do if you offend them.
