We should simplify the criminal code and add a catchall infraction for "miscellaneous being an *******". It should draw a $100 fine and stern lecture from a judge, maybe combined with some sensitivity training or community service.

My point is that we need something between condoning or ignoring this kind of stuff, and criminalizing it.

Otherwise people have to realize that there are all sorts of idiots out there, and the law can't protect everyone form everything.
