How about a little question mark?


I like that! I happen to have some nice green Sculpy clay right here. I'd be happy to make you a Winter-tide present. I also have red clay.

If I were living in Medieval Europe, I'd probably hide it under my shirt, but I'm not. I'm living in The Land of The Free and I have every right to hang a religious symbol about my neck without being harassed.



In the Land of the Free, there is freedom of speech.


IIRC, freedom of speech does not apply to harassing a person because of their jewelry. It's not like they were making public speeches and I listened in. In some jurisdictions it might be considered civil assault.

Then you should call the law, and see if they consider it "harrassing".

It is, after all, the Land of the Free. Show a little tolerance to people who are simply following their beliefs.
