This thread is going tovery quickly degrade into a cesspool of racist and prejudicial remarks.

That's how you know the party's getting started!

**Wyzcrak** · 07-15-2005, 01:19 PM

I see the joke.

I think it's irresponsible, as it fuels the hate that's killing my country's citizens just about every day (if not every day) this week. I'd feel the same way if pedophiles started killing people left and right, I guess.

I'll agree to disagree. This topic is spent.

That made me giggle.

Eh, you can't please 'em all the time. I do suggest that you edit your post to show links to the t-shirts instead of the actual images. Some are pretty racy and probably step over the line as far as being displayed in the forums, even with a very strong disclaimer.

**DudeMan** · 07-15-2005, 01:29 PM

You appear to mock the claim that you're an infidel (as Dudeman submitted),

where did i say this btw...i dont remember this.... i very wll may have done but i cant find where i said it.

I understand that the title of this post is politically incorrect t-shirts. I just think there's a line between what is politically incorrect and what is demeaning towards another culture of people. The infidel shirt was politically incorrect, and I could stomach that. What I could not stomach was seeing a whole culture get pissed on because of the actions of the minority.

Perhaps I should have stated it as follows:

You appear to mock the validity of the infidel title as applied to Americans.

No, being an American doesn't make me an infidel, but the people we're fighting and even the people we're protecting think that it does. If they're going to attach a ridiculous label, what's wrong with embracing it? Some people still won't like it, but eventually it will change the meaning of the word. Walk through any black neighborhood and tell me that you can't think of a similar politically incorrect word that has a totally different meaning than it did fifty years ago... Embracing hurtful labels can heal.

I guess it's just harder to tolerate such selfishness in a shirt when men and women are coming home in bodybags at a rate greater than we can post JPGs of "harmless" shirts in a forum thread.

I guess that's it. People are dying for no reason other than the enemy's hatred of us and we're provocing the enemy with t-shirts.

I don't understand your point here. I would imagine that members of the US Armed Forces are going to be the biggest consumers of these olive drab Tshirts. Provocation of the enemy isn't always undesirable.

Your offering a disclaimer that something is offensive (thread title) doesn't make any less valid someone else's decision to discuss it.

You're right.

ok here is the problem, and its a simple misunderstanding/bad communication on m part. with regards to the statement you quoted i was talking about the tshirts from tshirt hell, as "the koran, now in two ply" and the subsequent shirts with joking messages i posted.

not about the infidel one, which in any case i like and do think is funny, its like sticking two fingers of utter defiance up to all the extremist nob heads out there.

but when i was talking about mocking the world i was talking about tshirt hell shirts... sorry if i didnt make that clear.

and keres, i am sorry if you are offeneded truly i am, it was not my intention to offend you, but i think those shirts are great, i think the take the piss out of everyone as i tried to illustrate.

untrue, and i hope my explanation of events help you see that. i agree with cing, we are the western infidels, the terrorist call us this and target us because of our way of life. , so lets show every terrorsit out there we dont give a flying **** that we are targets, we are united.

Amen.

It'd be fine if you put the pictures of the ACTUAL terrorists on a shirt and write a demeaning caption on it. I would have absolutely no problem with that. But when you begin to poke fun at an entire race and religion because of the actions of those who do not represent true Muslims... then we have a problem.

It was human beings who committed those acts of terror, not "dem stinkin' A-rabs" or the Islamic religion. Deranged, delusional, and sick human beings. The media's focus on such irrelevant characteristics (race and religion) sickens me, to be honest.

How can it be irrelevant when everyone that has attacked us has been of a particular race and religion? Even if it's simply correlation and not causation, it's still relevant.

1996- Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. attacker- White Supremicist- Eric Robert Rudolph
1995- Federal Building in Oklahoma City. attacker- McVeigh and Nichols
1983- Congress Building. attacker- Resistance Conspiracy (Alan Berkman, Tim Blunk, Marilyn Buck, Linda Evans, Susan Rosenberg and Laura Whitehorn)
1981- Kennedy Airport, NY. attacker- Puerto Rican Armed Resistance
1941- Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. attacker- Japan

Just a few instances where a bomb was planted as a terrorist attack by non-Muslims.
