Don't be silly!
Those were great!
That's the problem with the world today, not only in the US, everyone is too concerned with making anyone else feel bad.
I appreciate your reasons, but please...

"The Martyr" (excerpt)
There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land;
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand:
Beware the People weeping
When they bare the iron hand.
--Herman Melville (written after the assasination of President Abraham Lincoln)
