You parents are so overprotective.
I mean let us buy what we want to
If you have such a big problem
Go cover your child’s eyes with blindfolds
have respect for those around you who actually think the shirts are funny
They’re not your children what right do you have to concern for them, they can do what their liberty takes them, if you have a problem go lecture your kids to not buy those JAY JAy shirts.

Australia is a free country, how dare you take that away from us teenagers.

Melissa

Jay Jays have been overwhelmed with complaints about these t-shirts since it was reported in the newspaper on 11th January. In regards to your question, if you've been following this story (not just on my blog) you know the answer already. These slogans send the wrong messages to kids. Your response of: <blockquote> "Why get Jays Jays to pull these shirts from sale when many parents and their children find this stuff perfectly fine. Can you not accept that some people like these shirts and therefore should be able to purchase them. No one is forcing anyone to buy them." </blockquote> Is exactly what I would expect from an EFA member. EFA does not advocate for community or social responsibility. They advocate only for personal responsibility and the rights of the individual and screw the rest of us. It takes a village to raise a child, Michael. Something you folks at EFA don't seem to understand. Deborah Michael

All you were doing is fishing for quotes you can use on your blog post which opposes the call by parents to pull these t-shirts from sale. I deleted your trackback because I do not want my website linked to it anymore than it already is. What am I, the queen of censorship in Australia now? Everytime I write something, even though others write about it, I'm the one you guys point the finger at. You want to fight censorship, defend the civil rights of those in China and other countries that imprison people for speaking out against governments. And leave concerned parents alone.

All I'm doing is asking a question. By no means do you have to answer it, but ot's honestly something I just don't understand and wanted some feedback. From you or any of your readers. Cheers anyway, Michael Hi Deb,
