Wearing shirts like that in public, rude (I agree it is rude) or not, is a constitutional right. (Note I said in public). Rights that many of us have defended or are defending....Land of the Free BECAUSE of the Brave.
Something about this disturbs me. I tried to look up the concept of local standards of decency, and while they still exist they seem to have been stamped into the dirt from 1935-1965 or so. Still, if people wanted it bad enough, that sort of thing could be reveresed. Point being I wasn't really all that concerned with defending people's right to wear vulgar tee shirts when I was in the Navy. It's not the end of the world, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if things got back to the point where the general outlook of the public on vulgarity was once again so universally dismal that it became practical once more to have laws concerning that sort of thing. I don't think there is an absolute right to vulgarity even in public.

It's an "evolving standard of decency"! LOL
