And for you, isn't it your bedtime.... take off those slippers and off to bed... geesh, talk about kids.
It is almost my bedtime.... Gotta go to work 'morra.... No slippers tonight. In my coffee, no slippers tonite in my tea. See ya! Play nice now, Bobby.
I would argue that, IMHO it's been very on topic, non political, and light and goofy all at the same time.
Goofy and non political. To my knowledge, nobody has said anything that could be taken seriously politically, other than regarding the question of free speach.
Well...this might seem a little extreme, but, I've think I have the solution. And I really can't believe nobody else has mentioned it. You need a sign on the door that reads...All women must remove shirts there....it's fixed
Seems like everyone has bashed the 2nd woman for her opinion of the first woman's shirt. She is bold enough to make a stand and did so. Albeit, it sounds like it is miss-directed (at the business). We won't know what the t-shirt said or is, but every business reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. If it is that offensive, I wouldn't have been able to stay quiet to whoever wore it. Now if it is just a political side t-shirt (red vs. blue type) that's completely different.
I wore a political tshirt into a fast food place once, felt some eyes on me, noone said anything. After I ate, 3 separate patrons happen to leave at the same time? They all approached me in the parking lot complimenting my shirt and asking where could they get one. How interesting they felt compelled to leave it out of the restaurant, and the women in this scenario felt the opposite.
I have seen some pretty bad t-shirts in my years. One that comes to mind was while in Yellowstone with my then wife and young family and mother, some jack wagon wearing a t-shirt boldly proclaiming F--- walked towards us. The big letters were able to be read from a far distance and I heard my wife saying now just keep quiet. Right! Just some punk that never did anything for his country. It seems that most people have never been in the service of the country, but feel entitled to sharing their opinions un-asked. I think I may have opened his eyes a bit.....
I have the utmost respect for all who served, with that said.... Those who served have fought to preserve that punk's right to be a punk. It's not a one way street. His rights are just as valid as the lady with the shirt at the store. If it pizzes you off, ignore it.
Disagree. I agree on the point that I helped ensure and protect personal freedoms of others but I didn't give up my physical health for the rest of my life to let someone walk around offending others. Just as I was raised not to offend others, this kid was obviously not raised the same way. I am also stating that the second woman also has a right to her opinion, but no one is defending that.
I agree on the second woman having the right to her opinion. I think we all think it was not right for her to take it out on the business.
Others can be lewd and vulgar whenever they want...without offending others. That's the key. Just as disrespecting/defacing the flag is legal, I would not want to be the person expressing his version of free speech in this area by doing that!
The thing with free speech === Whatever it is will offend someone. Someone has the right to be offended of coarse. They do not have the right to abridge someone else expressing their speech right however. Fact is it is that very right that is defended by those who serve. they do not serve to defend the right to speech only some agree with or approve with. That is far to authoritarian for the principles our Republic is founded upon. Some speech is distasteful, disrespectful, and socially unacceptable. It is still defended. Just think -- 240 years ago a certain King named George and his group of they's likely found certain speech offensive.
I'll agree with that, it's not classy, and not the right thing to do.... doesn't change the fact that it's legal and an expression of free speach, which service members fight to protect as part of the Constitution.
