JR, did you go to the Colin school of don't add anything, just belittle anyone with an opinion not like yours? All you have done is pump useless non-related buzzwords into the discussion, and try to fuzzy people's vision by getting them excited about the buzzwords, not the facts.
We ain't talking about hate speech or anything anti any ethnic group, so your anti-racial slurs ain't worth the time to talk about.
How about you start with facts? The T-shirt was a legitimate political expression - if it was on a picket sign carried by an adult in front of the white house, it would be "news"... it's free speech (your amendment #1, if I remember correctly).
"School officials ordered a 16-year-old student to either take off a T-shirt emblazoned with the words ``International Terrorist'' and a picture of President Bush or go home, saying they worried it would inflame passions at the school where a majority of students are Arab-American.
The student, Bretton Barber, chose to go home. He said he wore the shirt Monday to express his anti-war position and for a class assignment in which he wrote a compare-contrast essay on Bush and Iraq President Saddam Hussein. "
So they weren't worried about offending bush, they weren't afraid of getting sued because the whitehouse didn't like the shirt, but they shut someone's right to free speech down because some people might be 'inflamed'. No guidelines, no standards...
That sucks, and it sucks enough to have been read around the world... think about that. If nothing else, it means at least a few people, like writers, editors, and such figured that there was something there.
There is a big difference between political opinion and groundless bullshit. Your obviously too ignorant to see the difference. No wait, your not ignorant, your just using the same bullshit debating style that says "I don't have a better answer, but I am going to make fun of your answer" and fill your discussion with total bullshit in an attempt to make yoruself look brilliant.
Well, you don't. You just look like a stupid child incapable of bringing anything to the table, and incapable of seeing the shades of grey in the middle of the discussion.
It's sad, you and Colin deserve each other...
Alex
