Why would they, or anyone for that matter, want your respect?
Why is that important to you?
This is the last time I will respond to your asinine posts which make no sense. I am 56 yrs old and have earned the respect of many people over the years and you dont know me well enough to even come close to making a statement like that, so it would be wise for you to think before you speak, which is one way of earning respect.

I don't want your respect; why would I?
And why would you care if someone you don't know respects you?
You're the one who attacked me, sweetie.

You act rather young for your age.

Why are adults so willing to push the ugliness of adulthood so fast upon our innocent, impressionable children? Why can't we just allow our children to enjoy their childhood without learning about vulgar language and crude things?

Personally, I think more idiots should walk around with t-shirts, to brandish their idiocy. I'll even go step further and suggest a charity, where we could pool our money, so these types of people could tattoo these things on their foreheads.


We could maybe limit the amount of times these
idiots may partake of the free tattoo service, some
people will always take advantage of our charity.
The moron in the picture will regret the tatoos in 10 or 20 yrs.

The fact that kids carry weapons and would use them on someone voicing a legitimate complaint is just another illustration about how rude, crude and disrespectful our society has become.

When their parents took the time to teach them respect. Not all teenagers are disrespectful by nature ... Disrespect develops when a child never learns respect from their parents and when they watch too many TV shows that glorifies disrespect. Those TV shows were created by ADULTS who decided to build this image that rebellion and disrespect is cool.

[quote=ImTroyMcClure;13398041]Freedom is not about adhering to the most sensitive member of society. I wouldn't allow my own child to wear a shirt like that and I would look down upon anyone wearing it, but the men who died for this country died to protect our right to wear that shirt.

That does not answer my question. Anywhere... where? I bring this up because there are a lot of people who are confused between the two.

So, in this "Anywhere one can exercise this right we call "Freedom of Speech", are you speaking of "public property" as in tax payer funded property, property to which is not privately owned? Or do you mean any public place on private property?

this is important, because this specifically defines our ability to exercise our freedoms. You are not free to impose on a property owner. You are not free to speak as you like on private property.

You are free to speak as you like on "public property" as it is tax payer funded property, for the people, by the people. All peoples rights are in effect there as you can not restrict another.

Again, the important point is if it is public property or private property.

So if we are clear there, then disregard the above.

As for if it is public property? I would likely move on thinking the person a belligerent idiot. Some might call him such to make the point or get in an argument with him, but that is all they could really do, tit for tat back and forth their opinions.

In that case, you are correct, I have no objection in terms of a demand to obstruct them.

But the important point is... public property is not everywhere you go. In fact there is far more private property than there is public. In the private circumstances, well... that is where poor social interaction can result in some consequences they may not have considered.

Sorry that you feel that adult life is ugly.
I think it's kind of fun; maybe I'm doing something right.
There is nothing beautiful about using swear words to get points across or expressing yourself in vulgar terms. You may think it's cute to say that you "love to F your buddy" but that phrase does not sound as if you have much respect for this buddy of yours. Why do adults degrade the beautiful act of sex down to the angry word "F***"?
