Now we have some pictures from Pluto, Mars and Comets. So we think we are someone.

Are we that progressed that we don't need taboos anymore? Can we handle every thing?

Is it a problem to joke about sex with children? Or raping women? Or raping teenagers?

Homosexuality was once taboo.

Dahell is wrong with people?

I think it's a disservice to judge a person's personality, tastes, or inclinations based on the shirt he/she wears and presume what we believe to be fact. Just because he wears a shirt that has the word "RAPE" on it doesn't make certain he will commit to it. The peace sign and big smile on his face seem to contradict the chaos "RAPE" implies. Of course, I don't mean to imply that I know anything about his character. I just mean to question how we can know for certain how he feels about women and rape simply because he chose to wear an article of clothing that, at the end of they day, will probably be taken off and someday be thrown away as garbage? Perhaps he bought and wore the shirt simply because he thought it was funny that Rape was used instead of something more widely enjoyed like, "Smoke Weed".

The only fact here is that we know nothing of importance about him and I find you taking his shirt seriously offensive (all of this really) a clear sign of weak logical thought. I'm not saying it isn't right. You are very much entitled to take offense to this all. I'm just saying that it's all weak and based entirely on emotion.

How emotionally should we react to T-shirts with picture of abuse or torture?

What is a taboo? Why did we think we need them (before internet and flying to space)? What do we want to protect by them? Thoughts? Emotions? Minorities? Majorities?

Is being tortured an individual choice? Or mishandling another human being should be taboo?
