Your sentence was not added because the following already exists.
How can you be "offended" by the freedom of something? I understand that you can be offended by _speech_ and this speech may be covered by the freedom of speech.

freedom of speech.

I didn't realize verbatim quotes are so common around here.
I usually don't contribute to languages that I am not native as I cannot generate
native sounding sentences except for "Tom is cooking dinner". But from time to time
I put some quotes that I find interesting from famous people.
