Oh wait I get it, you mean that you would not put up with being offended in your home, you would put the offensive person/thing out. Good. That is your choice in your home. But out in the world who gets to choose what is offensive? you? me? the jits with their pants hanging off their rumps? The fast food clerk with more piercings than a pin cushion.? I don't much care for a lot of things but don't propose to outlaw it. BUT THERIN LIES THE CRUX OF THE MATTER. With political correctness as it is now, things are not usually or always made against the law, they are just foisted upon us with the threat of being punished , economic or political for not being PC.

Thats ok now as far being offended by some one with too many holes or piercings do what I do I go else where if I still feel like eating '

I am not saying to outlaw it Just saying try to be nice . ( I have my moments believe me) the folks who run photowhat ever have the right to limit what they want as they own the site not you and not me .

as far as this section goes its pretty open but there are limits I am sure . Now layoff the M&Ms

as Far as the low pant you better be the plummer in my home.

And Yes I think being politically correct is getting carried away . But not when you joke about people with needs

I never said the word to anyone. I doubt there are any challenged people reading this forum. I would never say hurtful things to someone, whether it is faggot, queer, fat slob, gimp, idiot, etc. My picture of the birds was humor, not putting someone down.
