        Its legal, but that doesn't mean its appropriate. Depending where you are, people may complain and ask you to leave their establishment.

            Ok I'm not going to take any chances then... Overhere noone even looks twice but I already expected it to be a possible problem in the usa.

                It's legal, but like others have said you can be asked to leave their establishments. If you refuse they can call the police and have you arrested. Just walking on the street/other public places I doubt anything legally could be done to you.

                  Why would you want to?
                  Maybe I'm a prude but I don't think its appropriate for most establisments.
                  back alley bars, redneck bars it will be OK.
                  Other than that look out.

                  It would depend on the city as well.

                  Arguing with a troll is a lot like wrestling in the mud with a pig, after a couple of hours you realize the pig likes it.

                    I had a shirt that said "Platinum - Fuck em all" (styled like Metallica's album) and the only comment I got was "nice shirt" from a flight attendant.

                          Censor your t-shirt with a "in the land of the free, i have to censor my t-shirt" sticker

                            Freedom of speech says I say whatever I want.. However someplaces may ask you to leave.

                                      The voice of reason yet again. Damned "adults" getting offended or bent out of shape over meaningless text. I wear my "tasteless" clothes with pride.

                                        I regularly wear my "Gone Fisting" shirt, and my "No you cant have a fucking cigarrette" shirt. Never heard anything but compliments.

                                        Mainly just wear them to work or bars.. generally dont like to go to places where that humor wouldnt be appreciated wearing them.

                                          It could cause problems if the wrong person gets offended. Check out this story of a woman with a political bumper sticker that read "I'm tired of all the BUSHIT."

                                            I saw a license plate yesterday that said "Chinga" which is Fuck in Spanish... and it's in LA, wondered how they got away with that myself, cuz I know they would never let you put Fuck on one.

                                                In 2001 a gal in a neighboring town was arrested for wearing a t-shirt with "I am the God of Fuck" on it..

                                                She was arrested for harrassment.. The ACLU got involved and the conviction was overturned, but not before it went before the state court of appeals..

                                                Probably cost a nice chunk o' change to win..

                                                Funny thing was.. the cops took her home to change it and she put on a Charles Manson shirt.. which apparently was ok with the law....

                                                Sooo... don't wear anything in a little hick town..

                                                            It's legal to do it, but some places do have obscenity laws, so good luck with that. If you're lucky, you'll just get a misdemeanor summons(or citation). =)

I was at a rodeo concert once where Kevin Fowler (a rowdy drunk ass Texas Country singer) was playing. A friend of mine wore one of his Tshirt that says "Kevin Fuckin' Fowler" real big across the back (People chant it at virtually every concert he has). Some woman in the row behind us was bitchin' and moanin' the WHOLE time cuz she thought it was "inappropriate and disrespectful" for her to be wearing a shirt that said that to an event where she knew children would be present. My friend told the woman (very drunkenly) to fuck off Good times

                                                                                      OHH yea that reminds me... I remember a story a while back about a woman actually being FORCED to get off a plane, because one of the passengers was offended. I think it was an anti-bush shirt with some bad words on it.

                                                                                      The stewardesses actually made this lady get off the plane and miss her flight, even though she said shed cover it up with a blanket or sweatshirt.

                                                                                      So uh... mabye re-think the airport idea.

                                                                                      wtf is it like to be a person that is that fucking rediculous, like that offended passenger.. I cant comprehend it.
