Doesn't this look patently offensive?

fwiw, there are economist who have documented where world trade or globalization has ruin local industries through out the world. Furthermore, it allows the wealthy countries to use predatory tactics to hold hostage the weaker economies.

Sort of the point of globalization, though, isn't it? Do work where it's most efficient? The horse-drawn wagon ruined some local industries, too, since you could transport the goods you made to the next town, and bring back stuff you couldn't make as efficiently. So the blacksmith near the iron mine drove the blacksmith by the ocean out of business, but the ocean based fisherman drove the mine-based fisherman out of business, too. "Predatory tactics" is a bit of a pejorative comment, so won't argue philosophy there.

I do agree with your philosophy on the t-shirt wearing doofus, though. Good thing for him that's not the park where the All-VFD Ultimate Warrior Competition Team works out. Or, like, the 82nd Airborne...

I saw this from afar a while back and was thinking "they are really pushing the limit" then I got closer and saw sting, and found it somewhat funny.

See THAT'S different imho. Masquerading with a shirt depicting planes hitting the WTC is way worse.

That is the type of person you approach and attempt to have a conversation with, when he gets comfortable ask about the shirt. Chances are he wore it to make a statement and isolate from others. He wouldn't know what to do if someone had the balls the ask him about it. I've tried this experiment on a biker who had SS bolts on his vest while he was alone and his posse was elsewhere. It's all for show. Just need to be careful and don't ask if he has support around. I love me some social experiments.

+1. I bet he's one of those "rebel without a cause" types. Or conspiracy theory nuts. Either way I think he's doing it for misguided attention.
