Stricter offensive bumper sticker law takes effect

[Usui Takumi 1,562]

This will effectively allow censorship in a broad way. Tennessee sucks.

Simpson, why are you arguing that the law is dumb when you obviously agree with it?

Because I fear that a law like this would be abused.

Indeed it will and indeed it does. Simpson doesn't agree though.

So why care what people put on their cars?

How is that a meaningful difference in terms of displaying imagery?

I wasnt going for meaningful. Often these naked tattoos are not that graphic but lets pretend that they were, then I would ask the individual to show some courtesy if he was in a area with children.

Whats that mean...I cared enough to give my two cents on this subject and thats it. I also would rather my child not see that dumbarse shite. I wouldn't support the law as I already mentioned.

So... if it's not meaningful then you don't have a point.

Say someone has an offensive tattoo and walks around with their shirt off. You "ask for courtesy" and get told to mind your own business.

What are you going to do then?

So you'd rather your child not see offensive things but you have no power at all to do anything about it.

Nothing else I can do expect take myself and my family away from the situation.

Hey thats the world we live in. Like I said a law like this would be abused and making it a law would be a far worse situation.

But bumper stickers and tattoos are fun... but the law is dumb... and yet you simultaneously do and do not want to draw a line as to what is acceptable.

You're a lost cause, my stand on this is reasonable and easy to understand.

More holes than a Swiss cheese in what you wrote, and more layers than an onion.

I see you brought the bologna.

You can't disagree with the law, because I disagreed with it and you called it "dumb".

So clearly the logical extension of this is that either you disagree with the law and are dumb (I am assuming this isn't the case) or you are not dumb and you actually agree with the law.

Surprisingly this thread has made me hungry.

I already explained this, the law would never work, it would be abused.
