PacSun introuble for "disrespectful" t-shirt.

I believe in freedom of speech, but only if that speech is something I agree with.

Do you just wake up every day and say to yourself "How can I go online today and be obnoxious tool and disrespect everyone?" If you're Christian you're a horrible person. If you're patriotic, you're a horrible person. If you do "this" you're a horrible person. If you dont do "that" you're a horrible person. Has there every been a thread that you were in that you didnt go out of your way to personally make some trolling snide remark to piss someone off?

Ben Urich is now my new best friend. Regardless if he wants to be mine or not.

Hey, I'm down. I write and draw.

Let the collaboration begin!

I'd do nothing. The ignorance of the people who don't understand what an upside down flag means is astonishing. It's not disrespectful whatsoever. As someone said before, my generation is full of a bunch of uneducated idiots. I don't shop at Pacsun anymore. So, I'm not going to buy it. I used to before they changed their entire merchandise direction. Frankly, the trends in my generation (well, like 3 years younger than me), are stupid as hell. H&M is way better.

Absolutely no one argued against you. And no, flags aren't as important as human rights, but I chose that as it's the only thing I know about you. Well, that and you're a conspiracy theorist, so forget about the human rights thing. If someone said "Anyone who believes in conspiracies is a complete moron," you'd be offended. You insinuated, be it on purpose or not, that anyone who has a warm and fuzzy feeling towards a flag is a bad person.

All I was trying to do was point out to you that if you want people to see the way you think, you catch more flies with honey. Throwing out insults only hurts your cause. And when you offend someone, you try to see things from their point of view, not just dig your heels in and lower your horns.

I have nothing against you. I don't know you, so how could I? All I'm trying to do is help you reach the people you're trying to reach and understand that you are currently acting no better than what you hate. You're telling people they need to change their beliefs without considering, even for a passing second, to try to understand theirs. Just because you're a humanist doesn't make you empathatic. Only an open-mind can do that. The fact is, I actually know more empathetic people that agree with the death penalty than oppose it. And, if you couldn't guess, I oppose it.

You want to change the world, you're going about it the wrong way. There's a reason MLK made a bigger impact than Malcolm X.

I get the feel of needing to be strong in your beliefs and all. I was like that for a long time. As I got older, I realized all it was doing was causing grief, both my own and to anyone around me. Just try your best to keep a level head and I'm sure you'll be able to have people see your side of the argument. Hell, I didn't think you were wrong in your statement; I just think you went about it wrong. Honestly, I didn't even think anything offensive about the flag line until someone pointed out that it was.
