You said we'd become an "anything goes" society. I provided many instances of this not being the case and you say that's changing the topic.

One day you'll understand where I'm coming from with this subject but it will be a few years. I'll give you credit for consistency, though. Your feelings on speech are the same as your feelings on dress codes.....basically, screw everyone else, if the rest of you don't like what I'm doing or wearing or saying you should leave. But I do think you'll see things a little different one day.

Nope. Not what I'm saying at all. I am merely pointing out that a) it is not illegal b) should not be illegal and c) we have become extremely pussified in America. Everyone is offended by something and we act like it's a right NOT to be offended. It's not.
As for the dress codes, private property is private property. I conceded that up front. But the Power and Light wasn't really private property. It was funded by the city for the city. Banning certain dress does create a nice atmosphere but it is also blatantly obvious as to who they are getting at. It's the same as saying "we don't serve your kind here" to blacks or gays.
In this case, it's protected under the first amendment. Free speech is free speech as long as it isn't putting someone in danger. How do you think Fred Phelps gets away with the shit he pulls?
