guy was tasteless and disrespectful but it should not in any way be illegal if he did not damage the lawn ornament

(48,181 posts)We always had the right to be offended, it is just idiocy that anyone thinks they have a right to not be offended, to criminalize those things that offend them.

(17,505 posts)"If he put a Nazi flag over the Star Of David or threw a pigs head onto the front steps of a Mosque would that be offensive?"
Like "Nazi to Jew" is just the same as "Jesus statue to fake blow job".
But I say, put a Nazi flag over a Star of David, or a pig's head on a Mosque's steps. It's tacky, but if no property is destroyed and no one is hurt, then go for it! Oh the religious will be offended, but then, aren't they offended all the time.... by someone or other?
