That's good stuff. I do agree with the majority that if I find something offensive, I can turn the channel, read something else, move away from the conversation, turn the radio off, etc... And of course I can look away from the kids wearing their pants down to their knees. (btw, it is about an even number of races where I live that do this). But if something is constantly out there and not just me, but many others find it offensive, possibly indecent, then we should do nothing? Hope that it fades away like leisure suits and butterfly collars?
Nudists don't find the nude body in public offensive, but others do. So there are laws that say if I am running around in public nude, I get arrested for public indecency. So it seems that the ones offended get their way and the nudists have to go to their colony or private beach to be comfortable. So why can't the same argument be applied to this? How is that not trampling on my freedom of expression? If you don't like me running around nude, look the other way. Or am I comparing apples to oranges?
