I've been a lot closer to the antarctic on a boat, but a few weeks ago I was looking at Stewart Island through the lens and said to the mad Scotsman I was shooting with 'no the end of the world laddie - but ye CAN see it from 'ere.' |

Back in college, during the first Gulf War (showin my age there) There were some protesters that had decided to burn a flag every day until the war was over.... News coverage and everything about exercising their freedom of speech.  Not a big fan of that expression, but it was their 'right'. Their failure was in not filing a demonstration petition with campus police... so they got cuffed, and fined 500 for an open flame and an infraction of the city burn ban.
Sometimes your freedom of speech may offend me, but I will give you all the leeway you want to light your own @$$ on fire. (yes, the college Republicans did get the ball rolling with the cops and the fire marshal) |

My basic t-shirt rule is simple.
If I wouldn't wear it or say it in front of my 88 year old mother-in-law then I won't wear it or say it in public. |

I used to wear H-D t shirts all the time .........until it became popular for everybody to wear H-D t shirts. I have probably 30 H-D t shirts that I have not worn for close to 20 years, simply because they are not unique anymore. Exception....I have a vintage H-D racing jersey from 1969 that I will wear if I think somebody will recognize it as vintage at the place I am going...............  |

If you don't see something wrong with the way you behave in public then that is just sad.
You have an opportunity to be a role model to your child - it would be a shame to be the wrong model.

here i thought we were talking about what is worn not how someone behaves. those are to completely different things.
and like i said before, if someone bases everything completely off of what a person wears, then im not the one that should be worried.
im doubting the guy that i sat along the side of the road in the ice storm with yesterday morning after i stopped to help him when he rolled his truck over at about 70mph in front of us, cared that i was wearing that shirt.
and as far as my child goes, she knows better than to judge someone by stupid things like that. so i guess that does make me a better role model than most. judging someone by what they wear is similar to judging someone by their skin color, its all outer appearance
if a person chooses not to look past someones outer appearance then i have always considered that to mean the person doing the looking is not worth getting to know anyway.
hell, if i was like that, i would have never gotten to know spidey. (he wears pink thongs in public... who wants to see stuff like that!) |

I would judge no_rice more on the tattoo of his daughters name on his back (saw it on the other thread) Than a silly FU shirt. While it may be considered an Inappropriate shirt, I don't think it's anything to question a mans parental skills. But like I have told my kids, if you dress a certain way, you will be judged for it. Right or wrong. I tell my daughter that if she wants to die her hair and wear a Marilyn Manson shirt she will have to work that much harder to overcome the stereo type. And she alway has. |

I disagree.
How you act or present yourself has an effect on others.
In the case of adolescents the phrase ' Monkey see, monkey do' is probably the most appropriate.
You can tell them to do something until you are blue in the face but unless they see you doing it then there is not much chance of them following what you have said.
The same goes for actions that are undesireable.
Sit down and watch Sesame Street if you think I am wrong. You will find that the presenters all carry out what they say and the kids follow suit. |

In this case I think Tims (No Rice) daughter will see that the shirt does not mean someone is a bad person and she will likely look deeper when looking at other people.
Im not saying I would wear a shirt like that but I dont think it makes for bad parenting.
I listen to rock music with clear swearing in it. I let my children listen to it too. Does that make me a bad parent too? |

I'm a bad parent according to my kids(or was at the time anyway).
Didn't take many cd's sailing out the car window to help them understand the old man's opinion of unnecessary foul language. They knew, sometimes they just needed some clarification. |

"if someone bases everything completely off of what a person wears, then im not the one that should be worried."
We're not talking about fashion sense here, we're talking about a display of blatantly rude/offensive symbology that happens to be plastered on a shirt.
Not "everything" may be concluded about the wearer of such a display, but it certainly indicates something about the wearer, at a minimum that he/she is looking to be rude and offensive to folks in general.
Actions certainly count more than words or images, but if the images we present to the general public are knowingly offensive, rude, and insulting, what exactly is our point in presenting such imagery if not to be offensive, rude, and insulting?
Why would a person walk around in public presenting an in your face image that is blatantly offensive, rude, and insulting?
Personally if I see a shirt with imagery symbolizing "FU", or the like, my day is not brightened in the least, on the contrary, I'd take it as a blatant insult from a complete stranger who is looking for trouble. My first impression would be "what a jerk".
If the intent is to go around telling "FU" to all who have the misfortune of seeing your shirt, again, I have to ask, why? Are you looking for a confrontation with someone or just wanting to be rude and insulting to a bunch of folks that you don't know?
Based on what I know, it sure seems entirely out of character for you, which speaks well of you. You've always conducted yourself here with honor and integrity and good humor.
I like my baseball cap that says "Life is good." |

If one is not expecting a reaction from such a shirt, why else would one wear it?
People wear button-downs to work because it's expected.
People wear T-Shirts on their days off because it's allowed.
But no one would go out of their way to spend money on an offensive shirt if they didn't have some reason. So there must be a reason.
Some here prefer to wear obscenity on their shirt, and then brag about how they don't judge people based on their shirts. That doesn't make much sense to me. What else is the point if you aren't trying to say something? Just had it laying around and threw it on? Why would one even have it laying around?
No, I don't think so. I have to assume that people are wearing shirts with specific sayings, offensive or otherwise, because they somehow agree or identify with the message. Even if the message is something silly like "STOP looking at my boobies!", I mean, it DOES say something about the wearer, and I have to assume the wearer intended that.
If the message is F-U, then, how else should I react? Oh, you mean it for everyone EXCEPT me. Thanks. I feel better now.
I'm thrilled that people are raising their kids not to judge people by appearances. That's awesome. I aspire to do the same thing.
I just want to know what the answer is when my 6-year-old daughter says "mommy, why is that man giving us the finger on his shirt?"
"Uh, he's just in a bad mood."
"It's his favorite finger hon, he's just showing it off."
"Some people just like to make other people angry."
"Don't worry about it - hey look, there's Mickey Mouse!"
I mean, which is the right answer? Let me know in case I ever run into you with my kid.

Speaking off innappropriate shirts, I saw one today that was the brightest yellow you could imagine and said
front-BADD Bikers against bad drivers
back- can you see me now a$$h@.e
I thought it was funny as "heck" Didn't buy it but i did laugh my booty off.
My take after reading this thread (not that anybody cares for my .02) If you wear a shirt that says FU on it, you will atract negative attention from some. Others will laugh. It doesn't make you a bad person/parent. But maybe inconsiderate to others that you don't know. Perhaps even rude. But not a bad person. IMO. |

Shirts like that are rude. I was raised not to be rude. I am not comfortable around people being intentionally rude. I am rude often enough without meaning to be that I really don't need to be rude on purpose. |

Dialogue.
Quality.
Quality Dialogue.
What we see represents 70 percent of our best sensory input.
I'd rather look at a flower.
I'd rather smell a flower.
I'd rather handle a flower.
I'd rather taste a flower.
If I look at it again, and it's not a flower, cut it back and see if it grows again. Time and tide. |

Does anyone really give a hoot what is on someone elses shirt ? That's just crazy to me.
As for our admitted CD tossers, some may find littering more offensive than a potty mouth. Not me mind you, I couldn't care less about either, FTW. |
