"Overly offensive" to whom? Who is the arbiter of what is "offensive" or not? That is far too subjective to be enforced evenly. 'Society' is not an acceptable answer either, every individual has different viewpoints.
- Arnt 10y agoSounds as if you're proving that widely-accepted laws are impossible, peelian policework, etc. "It cannot be done to the taste of absolutely all, therefore it cannot be done at all."
- stryk 10y agoOh that's not fair now, come on. My comment was in response to, and concerning, the notion of "overly offensive clothing" and in that narrow instance, your quote is on point -- albeit a tad condescending (not that you were, just that quote itself).
- Arnt 10y agoFWIW I think the quote is off, or my translation, so you can blame me. Can't even find the book now, actually.
