"channellling the Pleideans"
its interesting to me because of the word "cunt"
its one of the few very taboo words still left I think. But less so than it used to be: I've heard it a few times on TV even. (I think Sopranos, maybe even Outrageous Fortune? Deadwood?). I wonder if thats a sign of its increasing "Acceptability?" in society generally? In five years will we be wondering what the fuss was about, like we do know with old paradigms of censorship?
it is quite interesting I think. But the retards in Invergiggle? they should get back to rooting their sisters and mothers and benefit fraud, its what they do best.
oh yeah, and in Entourage Ari calls someone a "Cuntmuscle" and Mrs Ari is offended: Really Ari? "cuntmuscle"?

So ... how do you justify banning child porn? Surely it is guaranteed under Freedom of Expression ...I have a copy, albeit pdf

Bingo. Those jumping up and down about religious censorship are rather misguided - but then anyone who would want to wear such a shirt is probably a brainless knuckle-dragger.
Similarly, those who are offended that their "right" to cause mindless offence is curtailed, are unlikely to see the irony.

that is the thing that people forget in civil society (which we aspire to be) that with rights come obligations. Principally they can be summarised as "dont be a cunt"

Yes it is an offence in itself.... offensive language, offensive behaviour, behaviour likely to cause violence etc etc.
If someone shouted that sentence out in Invercargill to that old lady, she would likely still show the same offence to the statement and the offending person could be arrested and charged.
It is about maintaining a degree of public order and decency. Like it or not a line has to be drawn somewhere and we have legislation and common law that supports this. Basically if an ordinary person would find the use of the C word in public offensive, then it is. Printed words are the same as spoken in this regard.

I get that, and I agree. What i find harder to agree with is banning a CD on the grounds it is objectionable: note here that the sound recording is objectionable, not the cover art. So they cant even sell this in a brown paper bag.
But the issue is if I go to buy a Cannibal Corpse CD, I know what I am getting, I am unlikely to be offended by it, and am a volunteer: i.e. no one is forcing me to listen. My view therefore is that that if you want to listen to it, you should be able to: and obviously if there is some concern there is a mechanism to address that: R18 etc.
As so often is the case in these debates, the issue really isnt whether a line should be drawn or not (the child porn example) but exactly where that line falls: Any sane person agrees with the "no kiddie porn" but whether Cannibal Corpse is offensive per se is another question.
Remember the insane fearmongering in the 80's about heavy metal (and the PMRC and all that bullshit), banning Ozzy Osbourne's "Suicide Solution" (without, apparently, ever listening to the anti-suicide lyrics!) even banning the Sex Pistols (no swearing in God Save the Queen - well, not much).
Later there was the same response to gangster rap. Usually made by people who had sung in choirs, finished school, and weren't thugs. (some were, or course).
I find it very interesting.

We all have very different views on what we deem acceptable, permissable or offensive.
Many here probably don't mind the shirt, others will find it repulsive.
What if other shirts were sold that covered other groups, views or issues that each one of us found in some way objectional.
These are example slogans and are not aimed at causing any offence but to provoke thought that we all get offended in some way by something.
It is more about being objective in our thinking.
Now some examples that would no doubt stir:
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.

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