This is not that same guy you are talking about, I just wanted to say how funny it is to me that so may people point their finger and name someone a bigot just because the so-called bigot has a different opinion than they and is willing to voice it.

No, the t-shirts on tshirt hell are not for everyone. Yes, they tend towards excessively offensive. There are many on the site I would buy and wear in public. There are many I would buy and only wear in the privacy of my own home. The vast majority of the shirts on that site are something I would never even buy.

Does it make me a bigot that I find those shirts amusing? No, it doesn’t, no matter what you think. Self-awareness is what makes us sentient, a sense of humor is what makes us really human. I don’t expect anyone to have the same sense of humor as I have – hell, my wife is offended by many things that I laugh at. At least she understands that I’m not a monster because I chuckle at something. (and yes, there are plenty of things I no longer find funny as a result of my wife’s views)

You don’t like them, and I respect that. It is unlikely that I will ever wear one in front of you, thereby forcing you to cope with my differing sense of humor in a potentially painful manner. Just remember that my laughter, when applied to any subject, does not automatically mark me as a bigot.

The First Amendment and the concept of censorship to not, I repeat not apply to personal blogs. Nor do they apply to the fact that a company decided to close its own doors because other people chose to exercise their right to free speech.

And yes, I will keep deleting comments that tell me I’m stupid because OMGLOL the shirts are just a joke and so so funny!!1!!1!

That is all.

Ahem….I think the relevant question is whether they ever think.

*lol* So, our exercising our right to free speech is killing free speech?

Do you freaking morons ever *think* before you type?

And you know what’s an infinite source of annoyance? See above.

Simply put, I will fight for the right of anyone to say what they think, espically if they disagree with me. That is what free speech is supposed to be about.

Change has Come! Death to the First Amendment!

And I don’t want to know what Sunshine Megatron (*seriously*?) thinks a “hooker farm” is.

Ugh. Good riddance.

“— or doesn’t think it qualifies as rape”

*shudder* He’s walking around in public, near all kinds of women. how freaking chilling is that?
