If it said, "Nazis kill Jews Dead" or "AIDS kills fags dead" would also have to fit under your tshirt freedoms.
Obviously your common sense kicks in suddenly and you say,"No that's wrong!" but sorry it also has to be right.

I'm not sure how t-shirts became a part of the discussion, but i agree with you. Let me just say though that i have never seen a mohawk that contained a message of bigotry.

If you can't see a difference then we really don't have anything to discuss now do we?

I can see the difference, but i am also aware that there are really an infinite number of ways for people to try to get attention, including wearing your sobriety and your atheism on your sleeve and proclaiming it from the rooftops. Being an attention whore doesn't make you a moron, it makes you an at least moderately insecure human being. If we were going to attempt to outlaw any activity or appearance that is a direct result of attention whoring than we'd have a pretty fucking boring world. You're just trying to protect the normal channels for attention whoredom(wearing expensive clothes or driving an expensive car) denying someone who goes about it in a different way(getting a mohawk).
