I agree to an extent. But what if a 6 year old reads that and starts repeating it? I think it's just difficult to balance the "that's their property" vs "is it causing harm to anyone" line. If that was on one of my neighbours back fences, I'd be shocked but wouldn't mind it. I would also choose to ignore it. If it was opposite a school where young kids walk past, I'm not sure that's the same thing.

I understand your point and It's certainly valid, however a 6 year old will not be travelling alone, but rather with their parent and It's their responsibility to look after their child In every way possible. If they see anything (such as the sign) that Impacts on their child, any responsible parent would turn In the opposite direction.

In terms of young children walking past, If they're alone and without supervision, then they're old enough to make their own decisions - take the message on board, or disregard It altogether. Don't get me wrong, I do agree that the signs can have an Impact on anyone, but It's all about "choice" for adults, and parental care for children.

Take the Internet as an example. It's packed with material not suitable for (very) young children, and their parents filter It accordingly. You cannot possibly expect every Inappropriate content be removed. The same principle applies to any physical environment, this topic Included.

You've really thought this all out. And I find myself completely agreeing with you. Although, I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't glad this isn't in my neighbourhood, regardless of political affiliation. Then again, it would be a little amusing - almost like a neighbourhood landmark xD

The S once fell of a store called "Shoe Zone" in my town. You can imagine the glee that brought us as teenagers.
