That's just stupid ! Besides, the t-shirt tells the truth: Jesus truly IS a cunt....and an asshole....and bitch....and a fucking bastard...and whatever else I could think of to call the little piece of shit! I truly and viciously hate and despise jesus, so I don't care at all what it gets called! Fuck jesus! I would wear the shirt and then fight with anyone who tried to get me to stop wearing it !

There should be no restraint, no order, no God, nothing. Yea, sweet sounds like a great world. This kid should be taught a lesson and his parents are a disgrace. Forget about the fact he is talking about a person people respect but he has CUNT in capital letters plastered across the front?

Maybe that will bring you a few more hits." Indeed, at least this one. Someone will always have a reaction to words and images. A reaction that isn't proportionate to the actual harm done (with words and images, the actual harm done is generally zero). One of my favorite videos is the CNN Crossfire interview with Frank Zappa. Frank pretty much says all of what anyone should ever have to say about this subject: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ISil7IHzxc -Procrustes “I just submitted this to Reddit.
