I'm just saying that what's offensive is a cultural thing. For example in my country it's not offensive to tell that civil servants are basically lazy bums that do no useful jobs at all, come to work to drink coffee and make actually working peoples lives miserable by demanding from them useless paperwork in dishonest attempt to justify their existance. All that on taxpayer payroll. As I understand this might be offensive in US just because US wasn't under communist rule for 40 years and people don't share same vitriolic hatred for government officials. Is it appropriate? Usually not. But it's not considered offensive as it fits general sentiment.
