By "you" do you mean the 40 or so people, some religious, some atheist, some liberal, some conservative, that found this shirt offensive and improper?

This kid wears a shirt that's kind of raunchy, but it's his right. Plenty of people wear shirts that say God Bless or Not Of This World (which seems to be the new trend here in san diego). i get so sick of those Notw stickers.
You're such a trendy hipster, go on with your bad self, you trendy hipster, you.

If you want a theocracy, try the middle east for a while. See how that works for you.


A young kid wouldn't even notice unless the parent brought it up.
Ever notice how scoundrels couch their desire to control others with the "it's for the children" screed?
Now that's twice. Apparently you aren't around children. You would be surprised by what they see and pick up on.

And calling me a scoundrel is the second TOS violation. How hard would it be to play nice?

If she asks a question, she gets a straight and correct answer.
I would have no problem explaining that shirt to my daughter, and then hearing her say, "That is disgusting", all on her own.

I may even approach the guy with my daughter and ask him to explain his shirt to her, personally. Then I would correct his errors for her, right there in front of him. Kill two birds with one stone, without encroaching on his freedoms.

I'm sure you hee-haw'd around, when your child first saw two dogs, or two cats mating?

Keeping your kids ignorant in the name of innocents, makes for a hasty crash coarse later, when it is already too late.


The big world is a very cruel place. Living a sheltered life, gets you thinking like we see evidence of here, with total control over another humans nonviolent, "odd to them", behavior.

Yes...it's fine. But just be forewarned that physical violence towards you just might ensue.

Can you reply with a different comment? I dig your style, but browsing through this thread I saw the exact same reply to someone else's post Besides Sonrise, you said it yourself "Sadly, I'm afaraid many posters are gonna call me prudish and puritanical." I didn't call you either. I just stated something that's my opinion. No need to get in a huff about it, unless you enjoy that sort of thing, which i supposed would explain your post in the first place.

Call a mod, then.
Where did I call you a scoundrel? From your comment, it looks like you're self-identifying with my non-personalized comment.


BTW, I know that your kids are smarter than all of the other kids around.
