Would you wear these tshirts?

I own the killing Jesus one, the Rape is no laughing matter one, the school shootings one, Jesus did it for the chicks, I beat cancer, and I also bought Christopher Reeve's wheelchair on Ebay. The way I look at it, if you can't deal with the most benign of offensive free speech, you are really hanging in the wrong country.

I also have one that says "Never trust something that bleeds for five days and doesn't die."

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh yea, tons of them. A lot of them are people laughing, but I get bitched at by the religious right soldiers every now and again. Hellfire and brimstone stuff, mostly. I point out that I'm not offended by them wearing crosses openly, so they can fuck right off.

Oh yea, because not conversing with someone based on the t-shirt they're wearing, that's open minded and marks you as a true intellectual. I mean, of all the things worth getting worked up about, is fabric really one of them? Am I out burning down churches because I don't believe in Christ? Am I beating women or oppressing minorities? I'm sure not. You need to learn how to pick your battles, sweetheart. You'll never talk to anyone if you're offended by some minor part of them.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Really? The lady who runs the angst part of this site doesn't like offensive wording? Colour me shocked. Next you'll tell me you stand against racism. I think my favourite reaction to date was a little kid who walked past me, pointed at the Jesus figure giving the thumbs up and said: "Mommy, it's Jesus!" and the mom doesn't so much as look up and just says "That's not really Jesus, Chris. That's the devil trying to make you sin by pretending." I literally doubled over laughing.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

"I (PLANE) NY"
"I SURFED THE TSUNAMI 12/26/2004"
"SCHOOL SHOOTINGS TOUR
1998-2005 T-SHIRT"

Here, allow me to make some shirts that they should sell.

"CANADA, COME HERE IF YOU'RE A PUSSY"
"PEARL HARBOR IS THE BOMB!"
"CANADA, OUR ASSES CHASE YOU!"

Needless to say, I honestly wish that anyone who wears that shirt dies a painful death...the disrespectful ones anyways.

Well, I -own- the school shootings shirt. And as for shirts that mock Canada, dear, they exist. And they make me laugh. And yes, I think it's pretty fucking childish to not converse with someone based on what they're wearing. If they're screaming about how you should laugh at their very funny shirt, then by all means, ignore them. But if they're wearing a shirt that says he'd kill Jesus, you might want to take the time to sit back and consider the possibility of it being tongue and cheek, or just pure amusement. Try to not be quite so simple.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yes, because everyone who wears that shirt is the angsty kid we all went to highschool with. I know I'm actively "fighting the man" in t-shirt form. It's certainly not that I think they're funny. You can stop being simple, too.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Mate, I'm really not going to sit here and debate your insipid position concerning t-shirts to angst ratio. It's not like we're sitting back and discussing the idiocy of people who wear Che shirts while having no clue who he really was or what he really did, or the latest trends of having Mao on everything. It's a joke t-shirt that people wear as a lark. There's no social commentary there. The Jesus one I can claim the slightest commentary for I guess, as an atheist, but that's not why I own it. I own it because it makes me chuckle. I own a school shootings t-shirt because I think it's ridiculous. I'm not trying to disassemble the structure of society with my cotton-blend brand of fist raising. The thing is that your argument is too simple. Not everyone who owns the shirt is an angsty little bitch. I also have a shirt that says "I wish my grass was emo, so it would cut itself." Does that fight against society? I don't think so. You're overreaching with your belief and you know it.

FELIPE NO

Hah! Lek, as always, I love your sense of humour. That's fantastic. Personally, I'd have tossed a picture of Jesse Ventura in Predator on it for good measure.
