No one protested my "Too many Christians, too few lions shirt" but I didn't wear it often. -_-

Was this in San Francisco?

No. I was out of school by the time I moved to SF.

Oh.  Where were you?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I remember back in the mid 80's, we did have a kid in high school suspended for wearing the infamous Hitler World Tour concert T-shirt, but it was his fault. He was told not to wear it again, and there he was, showing up the next week in it.
That was some serious drama in 1986, man.

I want the Das Reich European tour shirt.

How about the next best thing?

My favourite t-shirt in high school was the "Marx Engels World Farewell Tour" T-shirt, complete with dates in China (cancelled), East Germany, Czech Republic, and so on.   :cool:

I bet if she came to school wearing a t-shirt saying "Jesus loves you" she wouldn't be asked to change.

Nope.  But how is that different from, say, a Gay Pride t-shirt?

I bet if she wore a shirt implying non-Christians are going to hell she would be asked to change.

I think "Jesus loves you" would be pretty offensive - I for one wouldn't want some bearded homeless person in the street telling me he loves me - especially if he looked 2000 years old and/or like he came back from dead.

Yeah, but you're too stupid to function.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I had a bearded homeless person shamble up to me on the street and announce to me, in a confidential voice, "I'm going to give up sex for awhile" before shambling away.  :huh:

My personal favorite "tour" T-shirt is this one that I got from my stepmother:



My Western Civ professor got such a big kick out of it that it got turned into an extra credit question on one of my tests.
Experience bij!

I would have flunked the wearer of that shirt.

The tour started in the Crimea, then to Sicily, and Italy before it really caught on.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I don't know. Massachusetts has had gay marriage for quite some time already, so this joke tee should hardly be controversial.

Meh, kids don't have the right to be controversial.
Agreed.  Get a uniform <_<

Gross.
