"I believe the bible is a book of fairytales"
"I believe killing animals to eat them is murder" Both are opinions which are also deemed "offensive". No attacking necessary.

Appropriate
In a free society, who decides what is and isn't "appropriate" and why should anyone care about being such?
What does "appropriate" mean? |

What's the difference between being offensive and holding an unpopular opinion?

This is the confirmation that it would be POSSIBLE for us to permanently live there and use the moon as a stepping stone to another planet (such as Mars)
i guess the magnitude of that possibility is a matter of opinion. i'll still hold my excitement until they find life

i don't know about that... columbus discovered a "new world" complete with water, life and human societies... mayhaps if they actually found life in space they could make that claim. i thought they already did find water on the moon recently though
No that was Mars. And this would basically be the discovery of a "new world". Our ability to survive there.Our life and our societies Our ability to survive there and to go to other worlds such as Mars and survive there.Our life and our societies This would enable for there to be life in space
