I'm falling on the fence between wanting to ban it, and not wanting to enforce my opinion on others. Maybe have designated offensive t-shirt zones? ;+)

It's like, when we were in the gardens and those neds walked by with their ghetto-blaster, offending everyone around. I don't think you *should* be able to do that, but I don't want to enforce that. I just wish I could rely on everyone to have more respect for others.

I tend to agree. I mean, neds walking past with quiet music would probably be ok (up to a point), but loud music is a real pain.

Slightly offensive t-shirts are ok with most people, very offensive t-shirts aren't.

And deciding who gets to define 'offensive' is also a tricky question.

I don't know - I'm all for a cross-section of say, 1000 people, having to veto any t-shirt that has a picture and-or slogan on it. Deciding by committee seems fair.

You can organise it, of course....

I was thinking that, too. I mean, what's offensive clothing? Is it only t-shirts with offensive phrases and/or pictures? Is it a leather tanktop with holes cut in it so nipples peak out? Is it tight miniskirts?

If offensive = overtly revealing, is that better or worse than just running around naked?

I was going to ask about the "offensive clothing", I mean it could mean insulting t-shirts, which I have no problem with at all, but then that isnt offensive, at least not to me. Clothes that I do find offensive, such as bum bags, shellsuits, etc by default offend me as I find them offensive.
