I can call someone ignorant and while technically the word should be unoffensive, that's not how the "ignorant" perceive it.
So, you can try to say....no offense is meant/inferred/construed by using the word "GREED".... but one would be ignorant to not understand that 99.9% of people take the word greed as an put down/ insult.
"And who is saying everything should be free?" Well, technically "everything" wasn't mentioned, but earlier I proffered 5 or 6 large ticket items that would be good for a society to have but asked "How do you pay for it in perpetuity?" The consensus of 5-6 individuals turned to question around in an attempt to infer anybody who doesn't want those things for everybody is greedy, heartless and doesn't care about their fellow man. I fully support socialism until I try to figure out how to pay for it. I know, let's take a poll and ask the common man, "Do you want free xxx?" Invariably it will have overwhelming support. That support is directly related to whether it is free for them, or whether they are going to foot the bill for the others free stuff. I applaud you on catching me on the technicality of "everything"....but I feel the "big picture" of my point is still in tact.
