A lesson in the weirdness of American society

I am currently wearing a Rage Against The Machine shirt that, on the front, very prominently, depicts an image very much like this:

I have never worn this shirt to school, despite the fact that I really want to. If I were to wear it to school I would be sent, probably very quickly, to in-school suspension, as our school rules state that guns and related items (like bullets) can't be depicted in any way (i.e. cartoon images, real images, etc.) on clothing or other posessions.

Now, at least once a month, and probably more, I wear a shirt from Maddox's store:

Aside from a few scowls from teachers, as well as the occasional chuckle from others, I've never been given any hassle whatsoever from the school. This is a shirt that, while jokingly, encourages child abuse.

I'm not the only one that sees how this is screwed up, am I? I'd get in trouble for wearing a shirt that shows nuns holding guns, which are completely legal to buy and own in the United States, but I have no trouble wearing a shirt that encourages something that is morally and legally wrong.

American society is screwed up beyond belief.

I've pointed out this many times in the past. To put it simply, people have to pick and choose to to be offended by, and normally they pick wrong.

Pastafarian shirts get you harassed. You should see how intolerant people are.

+10 for the maddox shirt.

If that was a real parent the kid would have bruises on his leg.

Dude, you use a sack of potatoes or oranges. Doesn't leave bruises.

It's about time you realize that the vast majority of Americans are idiots.

If you haven't been able to figure out I already think that, you're a tad bit thick.

On a side note, whats your favorite RATM song?
May 25 2008, 7:45 pm
"Bulls On Parade", definitely.

I like Bulls on Parade and all, but ever since Guitar Hero III it became super overrated :(

I like Know your Enemy better though.

I don't own any Guitar Hero game, and I've liked the song long before GH3 came out.

PROTIP: Rage against the machine is a terrible band for 14 year old "rebels".

Congrats, Jermman. You failed miserably on every part. I'm seventeen, RATM is an awesome band, and I'm not any sort of radical or rebel.

D'you want to bring some of that /b/ stupid here some more? Maybe post a lolcat or state how moron kid is moron?

I can easily be the one to say that Jermman is apart of the exortion bandwagon.

Stop reading ED, and then spread your shit around thinking you're some kind of vet, newfag.

People who use 4chan lingo in excessive amounts outside of 4chan should be shot. Hence the redundant shit Chink just said. As for RATM, salright.

Using labels to attack other people on the amount of time they've browsed is so not cash. He's been with /i/nsurgency for a good while. I can verify he's been a part of it for a good 6+ months.

Oh my, though. Let us all raise our 4chon flags of elitism and call him a newfag, for anyone who we dislike from 4chon is obviously a newfag.

I apologize. It honestly shouldn't have started to begin with, but Xeal felt it ever so needed to attempt to put someone in their place, when he's not in a position to do so.
