Jesus is a cunt

[Scuba_Steve]

Dude, you REALLY need to take LAWS101 at university. It would give you some insight into our system of governance, how it evolved, what is meant by the rule of law, history of law and all sorts of fascinating things. Because you have no clue presently.

I know what is written in plain, fairly self explanatory words, I don't know how our system justifies manipulating that into it's own agenda, no. But me I'd prefer to stick to the un-corrupted version anyways.

Funny as it is, that isn't one I would wear.

Its awesome for getting off Jury duty.

Hahaha, Bikers. We often dont conform.
But theres limits - push the public too far and feel the backlash.

The general population in our fine country dont like blasphemy still. And the Cunt word is still off limits. Litmus test could be - would you wear the shirt in front of your grandparents if they were still alive?

Gang patches, fine - whatever. Police uniform, ok- if you must. A shirt thats sole purpose is to outrage the public - dumbarse.

you trying to say I don't exist??? talking to yourself then are you???

Oi. I've been sitting on this mountain longer than you ...

[Banditbandit]

yes but the law can be over-ruled if it can be shown that under a 'true democracy' (not this shit we have now) the people would have it this way. So the question is would the "people" accept "child porn" or ban it?
I think that is how we justify banning that

And for the same reason we ban a T-shirt that says "Jesus is a Cunt"

[Usarka]

Child porn actually hurts vunerable people. People choose to be hurt by a slogan. There's a difference.

[The Stranger:Me]

So did the word "cunt" appear on the shirts or was it as posted?
Because it may be that the word "cunt" was found offensive as opposed to the reference to JC?

Muhammad is a terrorist.

I like your daughter, can I take a photo.

We ate your dog, thankyou for letting us immigrate!

I like motorcyclists, gives me something to aim at.

Jesus is coming, please take a rag.

Budda is a fat bastard.

Moron Mormons.

Pit bulls like kids, they just taste better.

Jehovah Witnesses are just plain annoying.

Get a bigger farm, shoot your neighbour.

Your wife blows like a volcano.

Check out my package, it's huge!

It is all fun and games until the pigs show up.


See my point? We all find something in there that offends us.

Sorry, you'll have to try harder.

there used to be a criminal offence of blasphemy.

with severe penalties.

and of course earlier than that, burning witches at the stake.

All part of the same continuum

but would the "people" want it banned or just the loudest minority like usual???
I might not like it & think the person wearing it is a wank, but I wouldn't ban his option to wear it. It does not 'hurt' anyone further than they themselves are going to let it, so I one of the "people" see no reason to ban it. I'm sure you'd actually find alot of NZ'ers the same, whether it be the majority or not I am unsure, but at the least I'm sure it'd be close.

Oooooh ooooh: I've got one:

Like many things, freedom of expression can reach a point where it is 'dangerous' (for want of a better word) to go beyond.
Yes, our forefathers fought for us to have such freedoms. But pop into your local RSA with that shirt on and see what sort of reception you get....

[Smifffy]

Dude, you've a gift for this: lets go into business together.!!

I have a Darwin fish on my car because I am offended by religious zealots who put stupid fish on their cars........

Yeah, there's always someone somewhere looking to get offended about nothing much.

IMO getting one's panties bunched up over a jesus fish on a car is about as silly as getting offended over a blasphemous hoodie.

I would not purchase or display either item. I don't know that the problem is about the language either; if the hoodie had used Shane Warne's name instead of Jesus' then the guy selling them would probably have been featured on Campbell live and the front page of the ODT as a human interest piece, with demand outstripping supply.
