[AC/DC]

DENVER -- Some people are angry when they see Shasta Bates' derogatory bumper sticker about President George W. Bush -- but she didn't think she'd be threatened with arrest because of it.

any clue as to what was on the bumper sticker?

Colorado ACLU Legal Director Mark Silverstein said the alleged threat of arrest clearly violates First Amendment protection.

Sorry, brother - not if it has obscenities on it.

If I had to make a wild guess, I'd say it says "F*** Bush" When we were in NYC they had t-shirts right out on the streets that said that on them.

Those that wear such a shirt should be strangled tell dead with it.

Ironic, isn't it? You can wear a t-shirt saying "F*** Bush" in public, but you can't say it in a website?

Don't get me wrong: I'm not advocating we start using the "F" word here on somd.com, but consider the overall theme. Free speech is a wonderful thing, I might add, but if what vrai is guessing is true, why should our kids be subject to seeing that on someone's bumper?

Obscenities are not allowed in public. You can get a fine for it. I almost did.

Why does it always have to be about stupid kids? #### kids, maybe I want to live in a more genteel society!

Can you imagine how many people would have been arrested for the "sh!t happens" bumper sticker?

You can say it on a website, I believe he meant it couldn't be printed in the paper. :shrug:

You can say it on a website. Just not this one because we have a different standard than some other sites (and cities) do.
